We’re a group of people who get together to have fun performing a unique tradition - Yorkshire longsword dancing.
There’s evidence of the Handsworth Sword Dancers as far back as the 1880s, but the Handsworth Sword Dance itself is likely to be much older. We are proud to be the custodians of this unique cultural tradition, but also to compose and perform innovative new longsword dances that reflect the style and spirit of our original dance.
We’re part of Sheffield’s thriving folk scene. We ‘dance out’ as regularly as possible; at folk festivals and events around the country and overseas; with other local teams at local pubs; and even in the bars and clubs of Sheffield’s liveliest student areas - taking longsword to new audiences.
We welcome both male and female dancers and our repertoire features dances for all physical abilities. Our weekly practices are relaxed and open to anyone to come and have a go at sword dancing - whether they want to join the team formally or not. We also run workshops for groups by request.
