MADDER MILL MOLLY - we are an all inclusive mixed gender team based in Carshalton and Balham, that dances the Molly style of Morris in our own unique and alternative way. The team welcomes adults and older accompanied teens. We provide a safe and welcoming space for all, regardless of race, nationality, gender identity or sexual orientation, a willingness to learn and embrace English traditional dancing and music is all we ask.
Molly dancing is a fabulous hobby - fitness, fun and friendship are just some of the benefits.
We are a non profit group and our aim is for our members to learn and perform dances in public both locally and around the country. Practices are free until new members are competent to dance or play in public then a minimal monthly subs will become payable to cover running costs and hall hire.
NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY
WE ARE RECRUITING BOTH MUSICIANS AND DANCERS
Practice runs from Autumn to Spring with the occasional practice in the Summer.
When you become a full member you will need to supply your own kit. We have kept the kit simple so it can be purchased cheaply online and we do have some items available i.e. bowler hats and braces.
The team are resuming practice in the Autumn when we hold our weekly 2 hour weekly practices in Carshalton and monthly 4 hour practices in Balham, new members are welcome to attend either or both.
