Default Arabian Sword Dances (And other dances!)

Just thought this will be interesting to post:

1- Najdi Ardha:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XgcYC...feature=fvwrel (this one is nice too)

2- Ardha Janoobiya - Southern Ardha:

3- Ardhat Bisha:

4- Ardha Qatariya:

5- Ardhat Ala alZeer (Utaiba tribe, more on this later)

6- Zamil of southern Arabia:

More will be added later, I dont claim to be an expert on these dances and do not know when they are done (as I am sure some of them are done in certain occasions, the Zamil for example.. as far as I know is done when 2 tribes meet)
