Joint Morris Organisations Days of Dance

Every two years, and every year in the run up to the 2012 London Olympics, the three Morris dancing organisations, The Morris Federation, The Morris Ring and Open Morris, hold a joint Day of Dance.

The 2010 JMO Day of Dance was held in Bury St Edmunds on Saturday 17 April 2010. Fifty-two sides from the three organisations took part in glorious sunshine.

The 2009 JMO Day of Dance was held in Nottingham on Saturday 28th March. The event was co-ordinated by Lady Bay Revellers.

The 2007 JMO Day of Dance was held in Birmingham. There is a report on the event in the November issue of the OM magazine, Dancing On.
