After three years of research, our very own Boz has published a brand new book on the history of Sword Dancing in Handsworth and Woodhouse.

We’re a mixed team keeping Sheffield’s beloved longsword dance alive. Join us as a dancer, musician or spectator and contribute to our local folk tradition.

The unbroken heritage of the Handsworth Sword Dance stretches back over 130 years. We’re immensely proud of this unique history.
