In an interview in today's Guardian actress Jane Horrocks admitted to "much 
preferring morris dancing" to ballet (see 
http://arts.guardian.co.uk/theatre/drama/story/0,,2287169,00.html)

May not seem a lot to go on I know, and she may have been being ironic, but 
given the rarity of anyone outside the folk world seeing morris dancing as 
anything other than embarrassing, this seemed worthy of note.

Now that I think about it, ballet has got to be worse, hasn't it? Which 
would a kid a rather admit to: "My Dad's a morris dancer" or "My Dad's a 
ballet dancer"?

Maybe what we need is a Billy Elliot-type film but based around morris.

Is it true that God invented line dancing in order to give Morris
Dancers something to laugh at?

Line dancing was the intermediate stage between singular point dancing
and square dancing.

That rather raises the question of whether Israeli dancers use the 
Biblical value of pi.

And the next step in that direction is when they have the first 
barn-raising in orbit and decide to hold a cube dance to celebrate.
