The Spelt-Grain of Sun-Berry-Plants

The Spelt-grain of Sun-berry-plants is a social partner dance originating in The Alone Bib. The form guides dancers during improvised performances. The dance is accompanied by any composition of The Lilac Custard-Apple. The dancers perform in several lines, moving to the music's binmonor rhythm. The partners rarely make contact, communicating intent through spoken cues. The entire dance has a basic movement called the segultumagul. There is a series of two steps in a figure-eight pattern with a relaxed raised arm from the lead, a high body level and a straight-lined forward bend from the follower. The weightless refined dance is punctuated by the subtle independent body movement of the follower and leftward bends.
