Some one has told me that khattak dance (that dance with swords, i am not talking about attan) is national dance of pakistan. Is it true?. It seems highly unlikely. What is the national dance of pakistan?

Do you have any other dance forms in Pakistan apart from Khattak.

I don't think Khattak dance is national, it is a very famous Pakhtun dance, more specifically of Khattak tribe (some Pakhtun members can expand on this).

National dance, well I don't think we have one.

Bhangra is more for Sikh and Hindu Punjabis in India. Never heard of the Pakistani Punjabis and Bhangra...

Nay, this particular dance represents Punjabis and not religions.. Anyone who hails from Punjab own this dance.
