The Origins of Morris Dancing.
Dancing around a MaypoleDancing around a Maypole On May Day, people used to cut down young trees and stick them in the ground in the village to mark the arrival of summer. People danced around the tree poles in celebration of the end of winter and the start of the fine weather that would allow planting to begin. Maypoles were once common all over England and were kept from one year to the next. May Queen By tradition she took no part in the games or dancing, but sat like a queen in a flower-decked chair to watch her 'subjects'.
