Ever wondered what it would be like to be a swashbuckling star of the stage – brandishing your sword, throwing punches and dodging flying fists?

A bunch of aspiring actors got some tips this week at Camp Broadway. There, fight director David DeBesse put a giggly group of 13-15-year-old girls through their paces.

The first rule: Nobody gets hurt.

“She’s not my enemy, she’s my partner,” DeBesse said as he demonstrated moves with a young assistant.

“I’m responsible for keeping her safe.”

The girls learned to throw a punch to their partner’s jaw, making their own sound effects with a quick hand clap as their wallop followed through.

They even learned how to pull each other by the hair without so much as ruffling a ponytail.

Emily Lanster, 13, of Miami was nervous as she helped DeBesse demonstrate sword-fighting.

“Those swords can really hurt you,” she said. “They’re sharp!”

If you plan to try a little sword fighting at home, DeBesse says, use rolled-up newspapers – they’re safe and still help you polish up your moves.

There’ll be a free fighting lesson – with plastic swords – Tuesday at 11 a.m. outside the Lamb’s Theatre, 130 W. 44th St.

There, Rick Sordelet – who staged the fighting in “The Prince and the Pauper,” “Beauty and the Beast” and just about every other show on Broadway – will teach the basics of sword fighting and stage combat in an hour-long workshop.

Every kid who attends will receive a free ticket to “The Prince and the Pauper.” To register, call 1-(866)-PPAUPER.
