A morris-dancer is a person who performs morris dancing, a traditional English folk dance featuring coordinated stepping, handkerchief-waving, and stick-clapping, often accompanied by bells tied to the legs.
Morris-dancers typically perform in groups at festivals and village celebrations, wearing distinctive costumes with ribbons and flowers.
