'sword' dances

[watervole]

 In the Basque country, the term 'sword dance' includes a wide range of things.

This one is done with brooms and is very different in style, but I would still regard it as part of the sword dance family.

Fingers crossed for the embed code to work...

Well, the code doesn´t work but I managed to enter the link. Very interesting and nice. What other things are used?

I've found one with linking handkerchiefs, and I think ribbons may also be used. I'm gradually working through the site looking at different ones.

Thank you. This sounds similar to things used here but I have to do some survey.
At the moment I am sitting here quite nervous and worried. Ollie the cat had to undertake a massive dental surgery because his molars were totally rotten. Quite a surprise for me, and only thanks to changing a vet, the previous one never checked on his teeth. All but two molars went, I have been informed by phone and they will call again as soon as Ollie wakes up. I dread the situation. Tomorrow a checkup and two injections - painkiller and antibiotics.Poor darling, I hope it was for good. I was said that pedigree British cats and Maine Coons are those who suffer from these problems. Well...and I expect the price very high.But Ollie is a memeber of the family, like Rocky...
