Weapon dances incorporating swords or similar weapons are recorded throughout world history.[1] There are various traditions of solo and mock-battle (Pyrrhic) sword dances from Africa,[2] Asia[3] and Europe.[4] Some traditions use sticks or clubs in place of bladed weapons, while most modern performers employ dulled replications to avoid injury.
