Crowds across Sheffield have been brought to a halt by a glorious spectacle of curious dance.
Yorkshire's own tradition of longsword dancing, with records dating back some hundreds of years, has seen a resurgence of late with more people showing an interest. Now, after Handsworth Sword Dancers were crowned national champions last year, a dozen different teams descended on the steel city for a competition final for 2023. As teams demonstrated with public displays, there was a 'buzz' of interest from onlookers.
Every year the teams get together. 'There's no competitive spirit really, in folk dancing,” he added. “It's all very social. There was a nice reaction from Sheffield city centre as well, people enjoyed seeing something a bit different. And it's important for us to get out in front of people. When they see it, they do find it interesting. There is a real buzz and an interest.
