the country who have been performing traditional Longsword
Dances from the villages of Escrick and Boosebeck since the
team was formed in November 1969 and more recently have added

Longsword Dancing is a hobby with a difference which combines
music, dancing, keeping fit, socialising, making new friends
by getting out and about around the country and having the
satisfaction of keeping up a local Yorkshire tradition.
Why not give it a try – we are always looking for new
members, both dancers and musicians. Any age welcome from
teenagers to adults of all ages.
