Longsword Dance Performance

[NoNaYet]

Someone help me out with a link. I lost the link to a Longsword Dance performance by a ladies group, on stage (I think in NY). I can't remember the group's name, but they were very well regarded. This would be several years old. They performed with swords, not sticks. I believe I first picked this up here, on Concertina.Net.

 

I know one of you guys know who I am talking about.

 

thanks

Just for a laugh, here's a link to a video of a less "well regarded" side ("Oakville Ale & Sword", with the emphasis on "Ale" )performing a different version of the same dance at the 2010 Millrace Folk Festival in Cambridge, Ontario.. Your's truly on concertina. We are about 3/4s through the video, but the rest of it is worth watching. There is some nice footage of the Toronto Morris Men (who are well regarded) about 1/3 the way through. http://www.cambridge...ils.cfm?id=1948 Edited March 16, 2011 by Bill N
