Day Of Dance The Largest Gathering Of Molly Dancers

Portrait of a member of Old Glory Molly at A Day of Dance, the largest annual gathering of Molly dancers in the UK in Ely on 27th January 2018. Molly dancing is a form of English Morris dance and is one of the traditional dances from the fens of East Anglia. It traditionally only appeared during the depths of winter as a means of earning some money when the land was frozen or waterlogged and could not be worked. The original "ploughboys" blackened their faces as a disguise to escape recognition and the consequences of their mischievous actions (photo by Tessa Bunney/In Pictures via Getty Images Images)
