For 10 years Tower Ravens have been taking the pubs of London by storm. Led by their wayward Beefeater, they're a team to look out for. Displaying acrobatic prowess and nerves of steel, they're held together by a love of sword dancing and liquid refreshment. Tower Ravens are an active rapper team based in the City of London. They are an award winning team who dance out in the pubs of London once a month and perform regularly at festivals and events across the country throughout the year. Rapper sword dance is traditional to the north east of England and combines precise and neat stepping techniques with fast and exciting movements. The dancers use swords, inch wide strips of flexible metal with a handle at each end, and perform various intricate and acrobatic figures.
