I built this dance when I realised that there were five Londoners in Clerical Error; a Welsh Team. It may only to be danced by Londoners as part of the team's Dance and Street Entertainment. It is structured as a Morris Dance although just contains segments of traditional London dances and songs. It lasts about four minutes.
Set
: 4 Dancers in a large square set.
Music : None
needed. It is sung.
