The Mangos of Podding

The Mangos of Podding is a sacred group dance originating in The Pincers of Moving. The form guides dancers during improvised performances. The dance is accompanied by any composition of The Empirical Sapience as the dancers act out the story of the dwarf deity Ifimkeb Solutionacorn. The dancers perform in a double circle. The sharp-edged expressive dance is punctuated by counterclockwise eighth turns, large backward bends and spins, with movement performed in retrograde by group members.
