AboutUs

Green Dragon Morris was formed in 1993 with a view to creating a mixed group of men and women dancers with a different style from other established West Suffolk sides.

Experienced and totally novice dancers struggled with rants, capers and sticking whilst experimenting with various styles and dances. We were smiling and laughing most during the North West and Border dances so we decided to combine those styles plus anything else that takes our fancy

As with all tradition we have moved on from those beginnings and have an increased repertoire of border and other stick dances, some of our own and others learnt from the many sides we meet in our travels to various events.

We aim to have fun with flamboyance and finesse !

At the risk of sounding like a Chinese take-away we took our name from an historical reference ...

�The Morris men�s drink allowances were taken at the Green Dragon in Guildhall Street�

(The Oakes Diaries ... John Oakes. 1741 � 1829)

To add to our local identity our logo, created by Deborah Martin, was inspired by a dragon found in a carving in Norwich cathedral.
