About Traditional Dance Workshop in the Manor House - Ryedale Folk Museum

Join us for a joyful two-hour dance workshop led by folk dancer, musician, and researcher Peter Barnard, who’s bringing North Yorkshire’s vibrant dance heritage back to life as a member of the Dales Traditional Music and Dance Collective.

With musical accompaniment from members of ‘The No Lazy Dancing Dance Band’*, Peter will guide you through the steps in our beautiful medieval Manor House. Many of the dances – which were still popular within local communities as late as the 1970s – are today in danger of being lost from folk memory.

The dances include set dances such as The Huntsman’s Chorus and Buttered Peas, along with couple dances such as the Boston 2-Step and the Gay Gordons.
