Molly

A high stepping style from East Anglia and the East Midlands. Rarely seen outside those counties so we are lucky to have seem Molly dancers. Dances were performed on Plough Monday by male farm-workers with one dressed as a woman and, like Border Morris, they were dancing for money to supplement their income so they concealed their identities by blacking their faces. Traditionally they wore a modified version of their Sunday best but modern dancers usually wear very colourful outfits and face paints.
