I would guess the opposite .
Any cultural dance with weapons would be intended to enhance or reinforce the spirit and power of the people .

So maybe threatening ??

Well, I dunno much, but the Jambiya looks like the Chilean corvo... and that was usually used with the concave side forward... you can find parallels in other forward curving blades like the kuku macan, ayda-katti, ginunting, sica, falx, etc. Just a thought.
