sword team based in the Newcastle upon Tyne area. The team formed to dance their own
version of the local rapper sword dance tradition. In the words of one of their calling on

Rapper is a fast and furious form of dance and dances typically last between 5 and 8 minutes. Luckily Short Circuit includes several well known and highly regarded performers and teachers of clog and step dance. This enables the team to put on longer performances (up to half an hour) including, in addition to their rapper dances, clog steps in a variety of styles and rhythms.
