Miscellany: We are a small, but successful, competitive Fluffy troupe, based in a small ex-mining village in Staffordshire, England. We train girls from 4 years upwards in the Fluffy Morris, which is a direct descendant of North West Morris. We aren't stilted and boring (as Howison & Bentley made out)….we're fun and interesting and the dance is complex and exciting!
