A class of dance centered on the use of one of these objects is split into xing (“shing”) and zhan types depending on whether the dancer is stationary. Dancers skip in a circle while clutching two handkerchiefs and one of these objects in outstretched hands during the Pashtun Khattak dance. In a Persian wedding dance involving these objects, a series of dancers pick up one of these objects and perform until receiving money from the groom. (-5[1])While wearing colorful coats called daghla, two rows of men face each other with these objects in the Saudi ardah dance. (15[1])Dancers perform acrobatic moves with these objects in Chinese (*) jian (“jee-EN”) wu. Two of these objects form an X on the ground in a Highlander circle dance where they are sometimes substituted with the smaller dirk. For 10 points, name these weapons that are held in a raucous dance from the end of Aram Khachaturian’s Gayane. (10[1])■END■
