Not familiar with this. Anyone want to give the abridged version?

tl;dr it’s a very very old rural English form of folk dance, and perhaps not well known outside the UK. Americans are English-speakers but there has been enough separation for long enough that things like this, observed from a distance, leave us a bit mindboggled, sort of like the English habit of eating jellied eels.
 
Then there is also the fact that many Americans are of non-English ethnic heritage. My father was the son of Russian immigrants. My mother’s family were Irish Protestants. Morris dancing is as outlandish to us as Mongolian throat-singing. The closest thing we have to this is the Mummers’ Parade in Philadelphia every New Year’s Day–which, I am sure, must look equally outlandish to the out-of-towners.
 
When I say this I mean no offense, and I am making no value judgments.

I think the only time it was considered very briefly ‘cool’ was when the Supreme Dalek decided to join in…

It doesn’t exactly track as cool over there from what I understand.
