It's not so much an interest thing. It's rather that there's a feeling that Cotswold is claimed - that we'd be treading on the toes (as it were!) of the Men if we started dancing "their" style of dances. A women's side was set up some years after the original men's side, but chose to do north-west instead. When a mixed side was set up a few years, it was with the stated aim of dancing any English tradition we could lay our hands on... except for those that another island side already danced.

What sort of dancing do you do, then?
