Deer Creek Morris Men Recruiting Dancers
Deer Creek Morris Men can take a few new men.  Do you have good legs?  Good wind?   Some attitude?  Possibly you've seen Morris dancing at Mad Sal's and Fezziwig's, or at a renaissance faire near you.  Possibly you've thought, "I could do that."  Maybe-- not everybody can.  But we'll give you a try.  Musicality and coordination are a big help.  Also an interest in joining an English tradition that was old in Will Shakespeare's day.  (There are over 250 active teams in North America doing some form of morris or other "ritual" display dancing.) 

Deer Creek practices on Goat Hill in San Francisco (OK, Potrero Hill to some) on Wednesday nights, 8-10 pm .  First practice of the New Year will be Jan. 14.  Weekend performance high season generally runs from May Day through Summer Solstice at various locations around the bay area.  Contact Squire Dick Bagwell (510-548-1206, dickbagwell@yahoo.com) or Foreman Ethan Hay (415-332-1430, ethan_hay@yahoo.com).  And look at www.deercreekmorris.info
