England's Morris dancers drive inclusive revival of tradition
Younger, more inclusive Morris teams tell the BBC their tradition is having a "cultural moment".
I take my hat off to my fellow folkies. When young me explored English folk culture, I rejected Morris dancing due to the prevailing old boy’s club rules and attitudes. People better than me stuck with it and I’ve watched it change over the years to a joyful inclusive, queer, non-binary space. 🌈🎶💗
