Longsword

I was just given a link by [personal profile] petra to a lovely longsword dance.

Longsword isn't everyone's cup of tea, it's slower and less showy than rapper, but when done really well, it has an elegance all of its own.  Look at the precision of the sword work here - all the dancers move in unison, swords at the same height, lines/circles properly formed.  There's also a life and an energy to the dance and a crispness to moves like stepping over the swords that can often look clumsy when done by poorer dancers.
