The Wreath of Petals

The Wreath of Petals is a group performance dance originating in The Empires of Endeavoring. The rules of the form are applied by choreographers to produce individual dances which can be performed. The dance is accompanied by The Ripe Fruits. The dancers perform loosely mingled. This dance is a refined artform, with two specific moves to be mastered. The crude dance is punctuated by right leg lifts and leaps.
