Rapper sword dance workshop

Join Silver Flame Rapper for a hands-on introduction to rapper dancing, a fast-paced traditional sword dance originating from the mining communities of Northeast England.

In this beginner-friendly workshop, you'll learn the fundamentals of this energetic style, from the distinctive stepping to the interconnected figures using flexible steel swords.

No prior experience or partner is needed—just bring hard soles shoes if you have them and plenty of enthusiasm to learn the basics!

Age 16+

Accessibility Note:
We aim to make our events as welcoming as possible, and this workshop will be held in a level-access space. Rapper dancing involves continuous stepping and remaining linked to partner dancers with swords in both hands, it does require active physical movement and sustained hand-to-hand contact. Consequently, this particular workshop may be difficult for anyone with mobility difficulties. Please contact us if you’d like more details about what the movement involves!

Please note, we need at least 10 bookings to run this session, if we have to cancel the session we'll make a decision 2 days before, we'll do our best to reschedule another date at this point.
