A Time for Dancing
“The step is very similar to the normal country dance step. It is an easy, rhythmical, graceful and springy walking movement, executed entirely on the ball of the foot, and in a jaunty manner which is highly characteristic and extremely engaging. The performers hold themselves erect, heads up and backs straight, bear themselves with dignity and preserve a grave demeanor… The dance is performed annually on the Monday in the Wakes week, that is on the day following the first Sunday after 4 September.”
- Cecil Sharp on dancing the Abbots Bromley Horn Dance
