Stick dance (African-American)
Stick dance was a dance style that African-Americans developed on American plantations during the slavery era, where dancing was used to practise "secret military drills" among the slaves, where the stick used in the dance was in fact a disguised weapon.
==Origins==
Stick dancing was based on young men performing military drills. The stick dance, Tahtib, was practised in ancient Egypt and survived up until the 19th century in north Africa, using a bamboo staff called an ''asa'', ''asaya'', ''shoum'' or ''nabboot''.
To add to the dance element of the practise, other slaves would gather around the competitive fighters. They would clap in rhythm, and sing in a call-and-response style, while one caller led the rest of the crowd.
Like the banjo and other instruments, the berimbau was based on African instruments and developed by African-American slaves. An early depiction of slaves performing a stick dance is an 18th-century watercolour painting called ''The Old Plantation'', which is in the collections of The Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Folk Arts Center in Williamsburg, Virginia. It shows a dozen African-Americans gather in front of two slave cabins, with one stick dancer, and two women dancing with scarves to music of a drummer and a banjoist. The watercolour is believed to have been made of a plantation between Columbia and Orangeburg, South Carolina.
