Feet First are the UK’s longest running Appalachian Dance Team, performing traditional steps choreographed into performance dances in much the same way as the American Appalachian teams do, with many influences like Ballroom, Irish, Greek, clog, Morris and jazz: high energy, fast and fun.

From Northumberland's Tyne valley, Hadrian Clog performs a wide variety of clog and hard shoe dances, from the North East of England and beyond. Traditional steps (with a 'Hadrian' twist) are paired with some of their favourite folk tunes, performed on concertinas, fiddles, ukulele and melodeon

Mortimer’s Morris, Nottingham based, performing dances from the Northwest tradition in their distinctive kit, are a familiar sight at events throughout the country. They are accompanied by European music from a large band including up to three hurdy gurdies.

Morris dance for the 21st century: sometimes flashy, sometimes comic, and always with exhilarating music. The eclectic repertoire includes broom dances (tricky spins, throws and kick-ups) and brain-bending “bacca pipes” jigs – England’s answer to the Scottish sword dance.

Rattlejag Morris, based in Retford, Notts, is a mixed side formed in 2002, to revive and develop a local dance tradition. Taking inspiration from the local ploughboys of the 19th century and using material collected from East Yorks, Notts and Lincs, we dance Plough Morris. Each performer has their own colour ribbon and face paint and almost all our dance are unique to our group; some include swords or brooms. We use many rarely heard local tunes and music written to suit particular dances.

Formed in 1999, Whip the Cat are an inclusive and diverse Rapper Sword team from Nottingham, with a pleasing blend of youth and experience. They perform a number of exciting Rapper dances, together with some lovely step clog routines.
