Sassy Sword Dance is a choreopgraphy by Schadia and She'nez that shows a playful interpretation of a male sword fight.
If you have been with the studio a while, you will remember this as the
Sword Dance first performed by Schadia & She'nez in the July 07 Studio Show
and then later performed by Nazeem Almassah members in the April 08 Studio
Show. This is not your typical slow mysterious sword dance. This is a super
sassy fun and fast paced choreography that you happened to do w/ a sword. It
is quite a difficult dance, but oh is it worth it! This dance is awesome!
Our Sassy Sword Dance is being offered for the very first time to our
students, and we are not sure when it will be offered again. So, don't miss
this opportunity to break it down Schadia & She'nez style with a sword.
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 to maintain balance.
