The Strawberry of Pearl-Millet-Grains

The Strawberry of Pearl-millet-grains is a war dance originating in The Funerary Malevolence. The form guides dancers during improvised performances. The dance is accompanied by any composition of The Vinous Grain. The dancers perform in a circle, moving to the music's sangob rhythm. The entire dance has a basic movement called the exusp. There is a series of four steps in a square pattern with an intense raised left arm, a grotesque facial expression and a sway. The dance is sinuous and spirited.

• The dance enters a new section with the bridge-passage of the music. The dancers perform very quickly with the music. This sensual section is punctuated by left kicks, backward bends and strong leg lifts.
• The dance enters a new section with the finale of the music. The dancers perform slowly with the music. This section is punctuated by flamboyant leaps and vivacious body level changes.
