Are they? They seem to be more like MOLLY dancers.

Tom, the last dancers I saw were `The Manchester Morris Men` on Sat.5th May`12 in Altrincham. Nine of them, all elderley, each with two `sticks` with music provided by a male accordionist.
Brian, I heartily concur with Tom`s comment re your effort getting wiganworld back. I missed it greatly.

I am quite happy to be proven wrong, should it be the case, but that high-rase step, with upper-leg brought to a horizontal position, is particularly characteristic of 'Molly Dancing'.
