The Artery of Windpipes
The Artery of Windpipes is a sacred group dance originating in The Custom of Shoulders. The form guides dancers during improvised performances. The dance is accompanied by any composition of The Coati of Giants as the dancers act out any composition of The Float of Sploshes. The dancers perform in several lines, moving to the music's pumdom rhythm. This dance is a refined artform, with four specific moves to be mastered. The entire dance has a basic movement called the ujel. There is a series of two steps in an intricate pattern with a forward bend. The dance is grotesque.
- The dance enters a new section with the variations on the theme of the music. The dancers perform slowly with the music. This section is punctuated by spins performed in succession by group members and twisting footwork.
- The bushcirne is one of the fundamental dance moves. There is a weightless counterclockwise eighth quarter turn performed in succession by group members with independent body movement and a right leg lift.
- The emsor is one of the fundamental dance moves. There is a joyous raised arm with a spin and a leap.
- The naccak is one of the fundamental dance moves. There is a sinuous body level change.
- The vishages is one of the fundamental dance moves. There is a raised right arm with a partially realized hand gesture, a body level change and a counterclockwise eighth half turn shadowed by group members.
