Re: sword dancing

I prefer to wear a scarf or cap or something on my head. I have a pointy head and super thin, ultra fine hair that doesn't provide much padding! I can balance with a bare head, I just prefer not to.
Some people like to scuff up the "sweet spot" on the blade, or paint it with rubber cement or nail polish.
Choose a sword that is already balanced. An unbalanced sword sitting at a garage sale make be cheap and look wicked, but it may also be impossible to adjust it to balance for dancing. An inexpensive balanced sword is fine, for years my favorite sword was a simple $20 saber from a flea market.
