WPE Folk Dance – Sword Sequence and Ensemble Background, May 1969
About This Item
Two male dancers from the Women’s Physical Education department’s folk dance ensemble at San Francisco State College perform a traditional sword dance during the May 1969 program. Wearing embroidered vests, sashes, and patterned leg wraps, the dancers cross curved swords mid-motion in a display of skill and coordination. Behind them, seated female performers in matching tambourine costumes observe from the gymnasium floor, linking this performance to the broader cultural dance sequence featured in the event.
