CYPRUS MORRIS was formed in 2008 as a result of a chance meeting of 3 British residents in Cyprus who had been morris dancers in the UK; conversation naturally turned to the possibility of starting a side in Cyprus, and within a few months the inaugural meeting of Cyprus Morris took place.
From a nucleus of 6 members, we have now grown to a membership of over 20. Cyprus Morris, with its green,white and gold kit reflecting the colours of the Cyprus flag, has become a familiar sight at fetes, festivals and other events across the island. In 2010 Cyprus Morris hosted a visit to Cyprus by Jockey Morris from Birmingham, UK, and plans are well advanced for a visit in 2013 by Uttoxeter Morris from Staffordshire and The Oyster Girls from the Isle of Wight.
We meet on Mondays at the village hall in Kyvides, a little to the north-west of Limassol. New members - dancers or musicians, experienced or raw beginners - are always welcome.
