I started this as a stub to have something to link to from another article I am working on Music of Italy. As it now stands, this is not very good, I know. I would appreciate any and all help. As the examples expand, it will be a good idea to divide the article into geographic regions: Europe, the Americas, Africa, Asia, Polynesia, Australia, etc. Jeffmatt 11:42, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
I started to expand the item by geographical region. Jeffmatt 02:52, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

I anticipate digging up about 15 or 20 more examples from around the world and then adding a section on "The Anthropology of the Weapon Dance" ---or something like that---and maybe a section on Weapon Dance as Art--that is, a section on the various dance preservation projects around the world that include such dancing in performances presented to the public. But right now, it's time to go to bed. Jeffmatt 16:23, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Images
Can someone find more images of dancing? Perhaps Wikimedia Commons and/or Flickr is a nice place to start. Don't worry, I'm looking too. —Jared Hunt September 10, 2006, 22:24 (UTC)
Shouldn't anyone...i don't know, mention weapon dances in Media, such as video games (weapon demos) and movies?
[edit] GA passing
This passes, just, well written referenced ect. Not quite FA yet, needs expanding and more sourcing. Remember, references come after the punctuation i.e
The article has passed GA,[1] but...
not
The article has passed GA[2], but...
You see. Good work everyone

[edit] added paragraph
The 89.97.35.76 ISP number is mine. I added a paragraph on the Danza de la Pluma. Forgot to log on. Sorry. Jeffmatt 05:50, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
- I also added the last section on Weapon Dance as Art (for lack of a better sub-title?). It seems to me to fit into the general article and also provides a kind of closing section after all the examples (although more examples are probably needed).Jeffmatt 07:24, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Capoeira
Wasn't capoeira by definition weaponless so that the masters or the police wouldn't suspect that the dancers were actually doing combat training? --84.20.17.84 14:36, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
