Abstract
Two folk dancing parties, probably recorded on location in Austria and England. The Austrian party is multigenerational, including children as well as adults. Dancers wear simple costumes, and most of the dances involve the whole group. The English dancers take turns performing before the others in solos and small groups, including clog morris dancing, rapper sword and long sword dancing, as well as a short clog dancing routine.
