Wild Rose Garland

 

Welcome

We are a women's traditional English dance team from Portland, Oregon
Our dances are all variations on English Garland dancing, a form of dance
that uses arches, decorated with ribbons and flowers,
formed into patterns by the motions of dance


Several of our dances originated from our tour to England in August, 2005
when we joined the Chesterfield Garland Dancers
our sister team in England

We dance at local events and festivals, beginning with May day festivities and continuing into the fall, sometimes in the company of Bridgetown Morris Men Renegade Rose Morris, and Iron Mountain Sword

2006 marks the 11th year of Wild Rose Garland Dancers
