Our project ‘Old dances, new people, new age’ funded by Arts Council England now has a full schools teaching topic called ‘Buzzing Britain’ for Key Stage 2, which we’ll be uploading shortly. Plus over the next few months we’ll be releasing new short videos 1-2 minutes long, introducing morris, sword and related activities in a fun way.
