The JMO National Day of Dance is a collaborative event organised in turn by one of the three morris organisations in the UK – The Morris Federation, The Morris Ring, and Open Morris. The day of dance is a celebration of morris and traditional dancing held annually at a different location around the UK.
In 2027 the day of dance is on Saturday 10th April 2027 in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, hosted by Five Rivers Morris on behalf of the Morris Federation.
Five Rivers Morris would love teams to think about staying for the whole weekend, rather than just travelling in for the Saturday.
We’re delighted to invite teams from across the country to the National JMO Day of Dance in Sheffield on Saturday 10 April 2027, hosted by Five Rivers Morris.
We’re planning a fantastic day of dancing across Sheffield city centre, using public spaces and indoor venues. Rapper teams will also be able to dance in a selection of friendly pubs and other booked venues.
The JMO will form the centrepiece of Sheffield’s Big Folk Weekend, with music, singing, sessions, workshops and more planned from Friday evening through to Sunday - so we’d love you to stay and make a weekend of it! More details will be released in due course.
Find out more and sign up your team by Friday 12 February 2027.
