Rampant Roosters Dancing with our Italian visitors from Sinalunga  at the Stepping Stones Pub, West Humble.  After the dancing we all enjoyed a traditional English Sunday Roast Beef and Yorkshire Pudding lunch.


Singalunga is twinned with Dorking and Rampant Roosters will be visiting Sinalunga at their invitation in July 2024. We hope to be sampling their White Chianina Beef when we visit.

Rampant Rooster Workshops

We are a mixed Morris side based firmly in the Cotswold tradition but with a good number of Border dances (from the counties bordering Wales) in our repertoire to provide additional colour and swirling, strong movement. 


Our musicians accompany the dancing with traditional and contemporary tunes played on an interesting array of instruments.   To mark our 21st Anniversary we introduced a new, Dorking “tradition” of dance.


We perform at least once a week during the summer season, usually on a Tuesday or Thursday evening, but also at weekends at festivals, fetes, shows and any event which requires our lively and joyful display. 


During the winter we perform occasionally on special days (e.g. Boxing Day, New Year’s Day, and St George’s Day) but mostly we practice hard to improve our dancing, to train new dancers and to learn new repertoire, traditional and contemporary.

If you would like to:
  • Dance with us
  • Learn to Morris Dance
  • Play music with the Side
  • Have fun and Entertain
or  can help the side with any of your other talents.

Dorking Day of Dance

Rampant Roosters Dancing a version of Cuckoo's nest with some of their Morris friends for the people of Dorking on 17th June 2023 at Dorking Day of Dance organised by Boxhill Bedlam Morris.


Morris Dancing  celebrates many of the events associated with the lives and community of Morris dancers and was to become the first street dance in England, and perhaps the world, dating back to the middle ages.


The Tree Spirits are released in our Burning of the Sticks Ceremony.


This year they remain captive to watch over our practice sessions and support us in another year of Morris Dancing and friendships with other sides.
