For the Highland Fling contest, what is the dance?

If the sword dance, do we need to bring our own swords?

I believe the dance is a basic Fling... Our dancemistress Fiona will be teaching a basic fling just before the beginning of the contest, and will actually be dancing for the contestants to follow along with for the first few minutes of the dance.

If you want to bring your own sword, you may, as long as you keep it sheathed! (removing tongue from cheek now...)
