Maypole Dance: Origin, History, Moves, and More - City Dance Studios

May Day is only 2 days away. Maypole dances have had many iterations throughout history. The earliest May poles were simple poles dressed in greenery and flowers without any ribbons. The dancers wound in and out in complex patterns that evolved much later into the iconic ribbon dances that are still performed today. Come learn a ribbon dance at our May Day festivities on the German farm this Sunday at 1 PM and 3 PM! | Frontier Culture Museum
