Andrew Swaine

Andrew will be calling/teaching Balfolk, English and American folk dance events. Andrew is a self-confessed folk dance geek, well-known in the Playford, Contra and Balfolk scenes. He has been dancing since he was little – and he's very tall now! He has done considerable research into the early Playford dances. He also plays piano accordion, writes dance tunes (mostly in the balfolk style) and dances with Boggart's Breakfast Morris. He lives in Sheffield with his wife Daisy Black, also an experienced caller.
