In Tudor England, people hang long colorful ribbons from the top. The children would grab the ribbons and dance around the maypole weaving the ribbons into a colorful design.
The separatists, particularly the Puritans, viewed the maypole with suspicion and disapproval. They associated it with pagan rituals and excesses of revelry, believing it promoted immoral behavior and distracted from religious devotion. For them, the maypole symbolized the kind of idolatry and frivolity they sought to reject in favor of a more austere and focused spiritual life. As a result, they often sought to suppress such festivities in their communities.
There is no designated national dance for Wales, but as in other parts of the UK in the past there was maypole dancing too celebrate spring.
