In book illustrations of "Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves", the slave girl Morgiana is frequently depicted dancing while holding a dagger:
"Morgiana rose up and showed her perfect art and pleased them vastly with graceful steps and sportive motion; and suddenly drawing the poniard from her belt she brandished it and paced from side to side, a spectacle which pleased them most of all" (from Richard Burton's "The Book of the Thousand Nights and a Night").
After the dance she stabs to death the last of the forty thieves.
