Shakespeare Morris are based (unsurprisingly!) in Stratford on Avon in Warwickshire and they dance Cotswold traditional Morris, with a strong focus on the Bidford on Avon tradition dances. They are open to all for Morris dancing, learners and experienced, and musicians too. Their colours of black and gold are from John Shakespeare’s (father of Will) Coat of Arms, including the black and gold shield with a “shake spear”.
