A group of morris dancers is calling for more Merton residents to try their hands at the traditional English dance.

Greensleeves Morris Men say more men and boys are learning their dance than ever before with the dance viewed as a highly sociable activity and a great way of keeping fit.

The group is hosting a dance taster session on Friday, September 4 at the annexe of the South Wimbledon Community Centre in Haydons Road at 8pm.
