Newly updated dance-out list - fingers crossed we make it to all of them! Unless some unexpected dance-outs arise from the depths of the folk world, Driffield Day of Dance will likely be the end of our summer season, with more to come for the run up to C… https://t.co/qwEWairx83

The team flag somewhere in Hull, in July 2017. Maybe we'll try to dig out the flag for some processions this summer...

This week we're travelling back in 2017 with very hot feet after a dancing in Hull City Centre - thank goodness for the lovely pools outside !

This week, we take you back to the 2000s, at Moor and Coast, Whitby. Here, we are dancing The Knot, an unusual dance that involves ropes and Maypole-inspired figures.

We had a great time at the Minerva on Tuesday night - thank you to all the teams that came too and for everyone who stayed to watch. Also, a huge well done to our newest dancer for making her garland debut! https://t.co/sBrSmP3PfI

This week's #FromTheArchivesFriday features the resplendent backdrop of @TheDeep, as we dance near the #OssWash at @HullFolkFestival (2014, we think). We're dancing near here again on Tuesday 23rd April alongside local teams @Rackaback @RavingMaes and @M… https://t.co/nTDYei7cDv

This week's archive visit takes us to a very warm, very sunny day somewhere in North Lincolnshire, from about 2017.

This week's archive picture shows the team dancing what we think is Whitby Shindig - still a favourite and an ideal choice for warming up chilly arms and legs at not quite warm enough Spring dance-outs.

We found this lovely, and very carefully calligraphed, poem in one of the archive albums we've been handed. Friendship is indeed a garland embracing all humankind, and we very much hope to keep it glowing a bit longer. Happy Easter, Eostra, Pesach, Eid… https://t.co/xsjeAWiVn1

So...the archive has been found: brace yourselves - this could take some time. We think this is @beverleyfolkfestival in the early '80s. Quite impressive that four dancers/musicians will be there again this year.

Not sure when or where this is, but everybody looks very happy! It's not long now until our dance out season kicks off - I'm sure we'll be just as happy to be dancing in the sunshine again.
