This year’s festival features a wealth of sword dancing—along with Morris dancing, Molly dancing and English folk traditions—and begins at the Staten Island Ferry Terminal.
Half Moon Sword is an all women’s sword team who have been dancing together since 1981. Their skillful dance displays have gained them a reputation here and in England for precision and fresh interpretations of traditional dances. Doctors, lawyers, educators, writers and mothers by day, the women of Half Moon Sword share a love of this dance form with all its ritual and mystery. The festival is their opportunity to share the excitement of sword dancing with other dancers and the public. The team has 12 dancers plus 2 musicians. You can see a clip of their dancing at the website.
