Dance Information

The phrase "Luck to Loyne" is the motto of the City of Lancaster and is often used as a toast or an expression of goodwill toward the area or its people, celebrating the natural beauty, history, and community spirit of the region surrounding the Lune.

The phrase has historical and cultural significance, particularly associated with the River Lune in Lancashire, England.

The name "Loyne" is an older term for the River Lune, with its origins possibly tracing back to the Old Norse or Old English language, reflecting the region's Viking and Anglo-Saxon heritage.
