No Timo, I wouldn't call these "dance" keris. I do have an unsubstantiated theory that this form of dress may have developed out of a form specific to dance keris. Though the blades in those sheaths are simple they are genuinely forged blades.
Here's some old photos of dance keris in action. I believe all the keris you see in these photos are legitimate keris.
