Current Activity
Recently the Morris Ring organised a CD of Morris Dance tunes called "The Magic of Morris" It contained tunes played by women's morris sides. Although a few individuals may retain strong feelings about the merits or demerits of all male, women's and mixed Morris, the three organisations now often work in partnership towards shared goals.
The dances performed by members of The Morris Ring are not confined to the recognised traditional dances. Occasionally teams will supplement their repertoires by inventing a dance. The steps might be modelled on an existing dance, but danced in the style of their own locality. Sometimes they are given whimsical names.

Famous quotes containing the words current and/or activity:
“What in fact have I achieved, however much it may seem? Bits and pieces ... trivialities. But here they won’t tolerate anything else, or anything more. If I wanted to take one step in advance of the current views and opinions of the day, that would put paid to any power I have. Do you know what we are ... those of us who count as pillars of society? We are society’s tools, neither more nor less.”
—Henrik Ibsen (1828–1906)
“Amour is the one human activity of any importance in which laughter and pleasure preponderate, if ever so slightly, over misery and pain.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
