My daughter is BRILLIANT

[captain_slinky]

Last night Molly was dancing around the living room with a light saber and I asked her which she would rather learn - Dancing or Sword-Fighting. She responded with "I know... LIGHTSABER BALLET!!!"

And so now I'm wondering; ARE there classes for kids that teach sword dancing (like in the video below), or is it just something that folks make-up as they go along? And if so, which types of classes does she need to take? Dance or Swordplay???

I used to date a guy who did "lightsaber ballet," he was a martial artist and used to do kata with a sword. Sure was cool to watch...

Your daughter is awesome.
You and I should collaborate on making her a customized fullsize saber for a birthday.

I think if she gets kendo training and ballet training, she'll eventually be able to put the two together.

I would totally want to see this. It's one of the best ideas I've ever heard.

another possibility is a college class in dramatic combat... teaching Shakespearean actors how to swing a sword

looks like that youtube video uses the chinese sword fighting style which to me looks a lot like dancing. I don't know the name of the style though
