Rivington Morris are a Women’s team of North West Morris Dancers #northwestmorris. We practice on a Wednesday night in #location Bolton and welcome new dancers and musicians. We are easily identified in our kit of red skirts and purple sashes. Musicians may be of any gender, and wear black clothes.
These demure cultured women hail from Blackrod, near Bolton in Greater Manchester. Their clogs have been heard as far afield as Sidmouth, Germany, France, Holmfirth, Wigan, Accrington and Blackrod Carnival. Hundreds have looked on in awe and marvelled at their stunning stepping, precision, music and reinforced foundation garments. On-lookers have been heard to say “Rivington have that certain indefinable something that Northern teams have …” or “Make room – these Women take no prisoners”.
