Welcome to the Grenoside Sword Dancers "Six Tommy Soldiers" website.

Who are we?

The Grenoside Sword Dancers is a sword dancing team based in Sheffield, England. Our "Six Tommy Soldiers" dance is a tribute to soldiers who lost their lives in action during the First World War and subsequent conflicts.

What do we do?

We take our dance out into the local community - anywhere we can put on a good and entertaining show of song and dance, while spreading awareness of what is still a very dangerous occupation.

Six Tommy Soldiers go to war!

We have done much research into the history of WW1 in our local area, including those who lost their lives in battle, our own ancestors, and those related to the miners in our Six Jolly Miners dance. Since 2016 we have payed tribute to all of them in this new performance.

The Six Tommy Soldiers needs YOU!
