Caravan Sword Dance

Caravan Sword Dance FlagUSA

CaravanSwordDanceCaravan Sword Dance is a choreography by Samora. Sword dances are a great crowd pleaser, as they look and indeed are a little dangerous. Great skill is required to balance a sword on the head while performing bends, shimmies and turns. American Tribal dancers usually "cheat" and perform these kind of dances with turbans, which not only protect the head, but also act as a stable platform preventing the sword from sliding or falling off. Cabaret dancers, on the other hand, have to use skill alone to balance their sword.

Props Required: Balanced Sword
