The Ursine Overgrowth
The Ursine Overgrowth is a sacred solo dance originating in The Glamorous Asparagus. The form guides dancers during improvised performances. The dance is accompanied by any composition of The Jute-Leaf of Breasts. The dancer performs along a counterclockwise circle, moving faster and faster to the music's pararadele rhythm. This dance is a refined artform, with four special positions to be mastered. The entire dance has a basic movement called the unanesaramo. There is a series of four steps in a triangle pattern with an undulating rightward bend, movement along the line of dance and a subtle arm carriage. The serene dance is punctuated by subtle independent body movement.
