New Esperance are a women's morris dancing team based in London who perform Cotswold dances in the Bledington, Fieldtown, Ilmington and Esperance traditions. We practise weekly in Borough, central London, with regular dance performances during the summer months.

We had a fabulous season in 2011, beginning by unleashing our newly-acquired Ilmington tradition onto an unsuspecting public at 3 separate events on St. George's day, and ending with a (mostly) sunny weekend at Bromyard in September.

But now is the time to look forward, not back, and we have an event-packed programme this year when we will be featuring:

• even more dancers
• even more musicians and instruments
• even better kit

• even more capacity for G&T

We look forward to seeing you!
