I've mentioned this dance team before on my blog. They are known as Four Hundred Roses and dance a beguiling fusion of traditional English folk dance with Tribal style bellydance. It's colourful, graceful and and fun to watch. The costumes are fantastic - lots of silk roses, of course, but mixed with lace, ribbons, lots of jewellery and colourful dreadlocks. I don't think I could shimmy my hips like they do, but I'd like to dress up in a costume.
There are videos on YouTube if you want to watch them dancing: search 'Four Hundred Roses'
Interesting mix of styles.
ReplyDeleteI'm off to search on youtube!
ReplyDeleteI am a fan of all sorts of folk dancing. These colorfully clothed women would have been fun to watch.
ReplyDeleteOh, I love the outfits!
