Boggarts Breakfast

Boggarts Breakfast, are a Morris dancing group that go against the traditional stereotype people have of the traditional dance. Our group member Alice, has in fact danced with them previously! This group have appeared on radio shows (fairly recently) with Toby Foster on BBC Radio Sheffield, and TV shows including CBeebies.

The team are based in South Yorkshire and feature both female and male dances. From the looks of it, the majority of them are in their teens, furthermore eliminating the traditional stereotype.

The make-up is more extreme and 'out-there' than I expect from a Morris dancing group, and the group themselves dance to metal music which is very interesting and most of all different.

Alice has contacted the group and they are more than happy to be involved with our production. Hopefully they will be in Sheffield over the weekend dancing, so we'll be able to film them and acquire the interviews we need!
