THIS NEWS JUST IN: Check
out the updates on our performance schedule, especially
the new times/places for this Saturday.
The Deer Creek Morris Men of San Francisco
California, was founded in 1986 in Palo Alto. We dance in events of different types,
ranging from private parties, formal stage shows to traditional street performance. Deer Creek has danced in the
Bay Area Christmas Revels, danced for
pagan festivals and churches alike, has appeared at many California sites, as well as in
Vancouver, British
Columbia, Marlboro, Vermont, and London, Ontario.
Morris Dancing is an ancient tradition of dance and music
from the Cotswold region of England, part of a ritual to shake off the dark and gloom of
Winter and celebrate the coming of a warm and fertile Spring. The bells and handkerchiefs,
ribbons and bright colors, sticks, shouting and songs all join to drive the cold winter
away.
We dance the Morris because we love it. We aim to dance with precision
and power, and to introduce our audiences to the magic of Morris and traditional
dance. (We also enjoy the conviviality of a pub stop
after a performance).
Where to see us
We perform for many events in the San Francisco Bay Area. Check out
