Summary

Issue 61 of The Nut (Spring 2019) is strongly North-East focused in the run-up to DERT 2019 in Newcastle. Features include an engaging report on introducing sword and rapper dancing in Ningbo, China, showing the tradition’s global reach, and a guided tour article exploring the pit villages where rapper originated.

The Rapper Census 2018 is reported as a major achievement, documenting modern dances for the EFDSS archive.

A substantial inside look at High Spen Blue Diamonds challenges myths about traditional teams, while coverage of Dancing England 2019 and the North East Rapper Competition rounds out an issue blending history, documentation, performance, and community pride
