The English [[mummers play]] occasionally involves Morris or sword dances either incorporated as part of the play or performed at the same event. Mummers plays are often performed in the streets near Christmas to celebrate the New Year and the coming springtime. In these plays are central themes of death and rebirth.

Other forms include Molly dance from [[Cambridgeshire]]. Molly dance, which is associated with [[Plough Monday]], is a parodic form danced in work boots and with at least one Molly [[cross-dressing|man dressed as a woman]]. The largest Molly Dance event is the [[Whittlesey#Whittlesea Straw Bear|Whittlesea Straw Bear Festival]], established in 1980, held at [[Whittlesey]] in Cambridgeshire in January.

There is also [[Stave dancing]] from the south-west and the [[Abbots Bromley Horn Dance]].

Additionally, there is a specifically Welsh version of the art<ref name="CardiffMorris"/> that is distinct from the Borders Morris style. This style is called Nantgarw tradition after a small village in the Taff Valley.<ref name=weston>{{cite web |url=http://www.cardiffmorris.org/Nantgarw.htm|title=The Nantgarw Tradition| last1 = Weston | first1 = Pete| last2 = Roach | first2 = Alun|year=2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121019012628/http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/alroach/Nantgarw.htm |archive-date=19 October 2012|publisher=Cardiff Morris |url-status=live}}</ref> One Nantgarw dance, Y Caseg Eira, is derived directly from notes made on traditional Welsh dances from the 1890s. These notes were made by Ceinwen Thomas in the 1950s from the childhood recollections of her mother, Catherine Margretta Thomas.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://dawnsio.com/en/dances/nantgarw-fair-dances/easter-course-address-english/ |title=Easter Course Address (English) &#124; cgdwc ~ wnfds |publisher=Dawnsio.com |access-date=28 May 2013 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120711015157/http://dawnsio.com/en/dances/nantgarw-fair-dances/easter-course-address-english/ |archive-date=11 July 2012 }}</ref> Others are more modern inventions made in the style of older dances.<ref name=weston /> Dances in the Nantgarw style include; Caseg Eira (The Snow Mare), Hela'r Sgwarnog (Hunting The Hare) and Ty Coch Caerdydd (The Red House of Cardiff).<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/user/CardiffMorris |title=Cardiff Morris Videos |publisher=YouTube |date=28 July 2011 |access-date=28 May 2013}}</ref>
