The American Travelling Morrice

The American Travelling Morrice, an international dance ensemble presented free performances of ritual English dances. The group made a swing through the Cayuga County area Saturday, Aug. 2.

Morris dancing is an old English country tradition performed using sticks or handkerchiefs. The American Travelling Morrice ensemble, composed of U.S., Canadian and English dancers, has toured America and England every summer since 1976.

The American Travelling Morrice performed at 3PM at the Seward House Museum, 33 South St., Auburn.

Although the crowd was meager the dancing troupe gave its all.
