This issue analyzes the results of a survey on Longsword dance teams from 1979 to 1989, highlighting trends in team formations, member demographics, and dance practices. It reveals an increase in the number of teams performing Longsword dances, with notable changes in team compositions and member occupations. The survey identifies a rise in mixed-sex teams and the addition of new Longsword dances to team repertoires.
