The Caper-Fruit of Cores

The Caper-fruit of Cores is a performance partner dance originating in The Roguish Hierarchy. The rules of the form are applied by choreographers to produce individual dances which can be performed. The dance is accompanied by The Vinous Lentil as the dancers act out any composition of The Pale-Brown of Ivory. The dancers perform in a single line, moving slowly with the music. This dance is a refined artform, with six specific moves to be mastered. The vigorous dance is punctuated by the independent body movement of the lead.
