Mabel Gubbins Rapper is a women's dance team, based in the village of North Moreton, near Oxford.

They perform traditional and evolved rapper sword dances, which originate from the mining regions of Northumberland and Durham. They can be often seen dancing in pubs around Oxfordshire, dancing in pubs at festivals around the country, and, if at all possible, not dancing in car parks.

The best way to find a Mabel at a folk festival is to wave a bottle of gin in the air, and the best way to get rid of one is to tell them the way to a really good cake shop...

Mabel is a very friendly team, and would love to hear from anyone who might like to join them. This includes people who have never danced before, people who are already experts, and people who are merely curious... If anyone would like to give rapper a try, contact Mabel for more details.
