Welcome to the Dead Horse Morris Website
Dead Horse is a Morris dancing side from Whitstable in Kent, made up of the Dead Horse Morris Men and the new ladies team the Broomdashers. We perform a regional style of the traditional English Morris dance. You can find out more about us here or see what Morris dancing is all about on our introductory page.
We practice during the winter months and perform in the local Kentish towns and villages in the summer, with some outings further afield. If you're interesting in joining us then please get in touch or come and see us dance at one of our events.
See what we've been upto for the last 23 years by exploring our photo and video galleries, or view what the press has been saying about us.
You can learn the ways of the Dead Horse by studying our dance page that introduces you to our unique way of dancing. Or why not learn a few shanties from our song page to sing along to at one of our stands.

Andy Henderson, Molly and founder member of Dead Horse Morris, died suddenly duing a Monday evening practice early in 2009. He is greatly missed by his wife Vandra, his family, dancers and musicians, his many friends and all those who ever roared with laughter at one of his larger than life performances at a Dead Horse stand. Andy was one of the best. |
