Snowbelt also dances Rapper
Rapper is similar to clogging and to Irish hard-shoe step-dancing.
It's fast, it's fun, and it scares passers-by! Rapper dancers are linked
together by spring-steel swords that bend, and make interesting patterns
during the dance.
For more information, check out this description and history.

Our dances are easy to learn andnew comers are always welcome. If you start in the fall or early winter, you'llprobably be ready for public performances in the coming spring.

Welcome to Snowbelt Morris
What is Morris Dancing?
Morris dancing is an athletic English tradition that involves clashing sticks together, waving hankies around, and other such organized mayhem. Snowbelt Morris is dedicated to perpetuating and elaborating on the ancient forms of this ritual dance, with the occasional break to burst into song and have a bit of a drink.
The Bassett Street Hounds have a nice overview of the history of Morris Dancing available on their web site.
We are looking for musicians and dancers!
Musicians:
We are looking for musicians to play with us at practices and public performances. The only requirement is familiarity with, or desire to learn, a traditional morris instrument:
penny wistle
pipe & tabor
accordion, concertina
fiddle
etc.
Dancers:
As you watch the morris, keep one thing in mind: We are having more fun than you are. We dance because it helps us keep active and in shape; because we like being a part of the worldwide community of morris dancers; because it satisfies our need, and the need of our audiences, for tradition and celebration; and, mainly, because it's so much fun, it shouldn't be legal.
If you're in reasonable physical shape, have a decent sense of rhythm, and are willing to practice, we can make a morris dancer out of you. Our dances are easy to learn and new comers are always welcome. If you start in the fall or early winter, you'll probably be ready for public performances in the coming spring. Practices in the winter months are especially good for new comers since we are able to spend more time teaching dances than we can during the height of our summer performance season.

Some travel is expected as a member of Snowbelt Morris. The amount of travel varies from year to year; this year we are performing in Rochester, Ithaca, Albany, and Boston.
