The Tongeren Sword Dance
This is the best-documented of the historic Flemish sword dances.
In 2026, Jeff Lawson and Andrew Kennedy gathered all the information they could about Felix's team, with the help of Felix's widow, Mieke, and taught the Tongeren Sword Dance at the Whitby longsword workshop.
