The Rosy Pearl-Millet-Grain
The Rosy Pearl-millet-grain is a sacred group dance originally devised by the elf Cathili Storytellerplums. The form guides dancers during improvised performances. The dance is accompanied by any composition of The Corymb of Buckwheat-Grains. The dancers perform in a single line, moving to the music's slothepanine rhythm. This dance is a refined artform, with two special positions and seven specific moves to be mastered. The dance is punctuated by lively left kicks and passive independent body movement, with movement performed in retrograde by group members.
