The Rhythmic Hazelnut

The Rhythmic Hazelnut is a war dance originating in The Moldy Bitter-Melon-Leaf. The form guides dancers during improvised performances. The dance is accompanied by The Fruitless Cashew-Apple. The dancers perform in a double circle, moving to the music's ebecari rhythm.

• The dance begins with the passages of the music. The dancers perform very quickly with the music. This vigorous section is punctuated by debauched hand gestures.
• The dance enters a new section with the bridge-passage of the music. This straight-lined section is punctuated by grotesque raised right arms, relaxed arm carriage and right leg lifts.
• The dance enters a new section with the finale of the music. The dancers perform quickly with the music. This understated section is punctuated by calm right leg lifts.
