Welcome to the ESMM Website
Morris
Dancing is a living English tradition which has been practiced for
hundreds of years. It is an immensely enjoyable aerobic and social
activity which when done well commands good balance, grace and timing
together with an appreciation of many a fine ale. It is part of our
unique culture - so be proud of it, support it when you see it but best
- participate in it and keep it healthy for generations to come to
enjoy.

We perform dances
from the Cotswolds traditions in sets of six or eight men. Occasionally
a Jig danced by one or two men will be incorporated into the programme.
We dance for our own and our audiences’ pleasure on village greens
and alehouse forecourts throughout Surrey
together
with our now customary visit
to Kent and Sussex over the Spring Bank Holiday weekend.
Our
collections, apart from bringing good luck to our audience, enable us
to make donations to local charities. Those that have benefited in recent
years include; The Royal Marsden Hospital St Raphael’s Hospice
British Heart Foundation, Multiple Sclerosis, Rye Church and The English
Folk Dance and Song Society. In addition we sometimes arrange specific
performances for charitable causes.
