TRADITIONALLY, on May 1 communities perform a maypole dance, around a tall pole hung with ribbons that are woven into patterns by the dancers. Such dances are survivals of ancient dances around a tree to celebrate spring. They are often performed on other occasions too. Here we take a look back at maypole dances in and around Bradford over the past few years.
