Although EATMT had decided not to run Stepdance Day this year because of the uncertainty of lifting of restrictions, we did offer to provide some music and stepping to feature at the Strumpshaw Tree Fair this year.

Norfolk based researcher and musician Chris Holderness, very kindly agreed to organise the music and dancers to play for the festival goers on the Sunday afternoon in the dance tent.
