Who are we?
Tower Ravens are London’s premier rapper sword dance team. Named after the feathered guardians of the Tower of London, they are accompanied by a brazen Beefeater. Displaying acrobatic prowess and nerves of steel, they’re held together by a love of sword dancing and liquid refreshment.
“But what is rapper dancing?” we hear you say. Rapper sword dancing is a form of traditional dance which comes from the north east of England. The “swords” (inch wide strips of metal with a handle at each end) are used to make intricate locks and patterns whilst the dancers perform precise and neat stepping combined with fast and exciting movements.
Why are we crowdfunding?
This November, we are competing at DART (Dancing America Rapper Tournament) in Boston, US! https://www.dartrapper.com/. We have competed at the UK DERT competition since 2013, coming first place in the premier category in 2022 and 2023. We can't wait to take on the US competition!
We are dancing on extra fundraising crawls around London, selling a range of fabulous merch, as well as running this campaign to help fundraise. We would be grateful for any donation, no matter how small.
