Monkseaton Morrismen And Folk Dance Team Monkseaton Morris Men started 2008, as they have done for the past 35years, by dancing outside the Ship Inn in Monkseaton. Over the next couple of years the teams emphasis will have to be geared towards recruiting new members, as the average age of the side seems to be increasing faster than the advancing years. This recruitment includes men and women dancers and musicians. If you are at all interested in learning more about the team, the dances we perform, or would like to join the team, please come along to one of the events listed on the 2008 programme or pop along to one of our practice nights (every Monday) or contact us through the telephone numbers and emails listed at the bottom of this page. Bring a friend along and give it a go, there's nothing to loose. The dancing is fun, good exercise and you will be afforded a warm welcome were ever you go. Monkseaton were formed in 1955 and the team are the leading exponents of the traditional sword and country dances of Northumbria with an international reputation amongst folk dance circles throughout Europe. Meeting on Monday evenings, at the 21st Whitley Bay Scout Hut (beside the Whitley Bay Ice-Rink Hillheads Road) from 8pm–10pm, the team perfect their dances and organise performances for fund raising events, fetes, social gatherings and festivals both here and abroad.
No previous experience necessary as full ‘on the job ‘ training will be given.
Go on you know you
