Dance Information

This strathspey, Guisborough Lassies, is part of the Cleveland Collection.
Cleveland was an area in the north east of England. Its name means literally "cliff-land", referring to its hilly southern areas, which rise to nearly 1,500 ft (460 m).
Historically Guisborough was the largest town in Cleveland until the rise of Middlesbrough in the 19th century.
