Shield Question

Is there a right or wrong way to wear you Shield when dancing. I wear my mine on the right arm and dance staff in the left hand. But I have always seen it done the other way. Shield on left arm staff in right hand. I am I wrong. Could someone please point me in the right direction.

Most warriors carry their weapon in their primary, or strong, hand. In other words... why would a right-handed person carry their weapon in their left hand.

This is a common sense question. With a common sense answer.

See that little man in the photo to the left? He's left-handed, just like his dad. See his dance stick in his left hand, and his shield on his right arm?
