The Tomato of Pomegranites
The Tomato of Pomegranites is a social partner dance for a single pair originating in The Worth Jobsheet. The form guides dancers during improvised performances. The dance is accompanied by The Lyrical Coffee-Cherry. The dancers perform in a single line along an intricate path, moving slower and slower to the music's elomamar rhythm. The partners maintain open contact, communicating intent by pulling away. This dance is a refined artform, with two special positions and three specific moves to be mastered. The entire dance has a basic movement called the orramoth. There is a series of eight steps in a circular pattern with a relaxed facial expression, movement along the line of dance from the lead and a sprightly clockwise eighth half turn from the follower. The understated dance is punctuated by the sluggish right kicks of the follower, independent body movement and the right leg lifts of the follower.
