The Ball of Acorns

The Ball of Acorns is a group performance dance originating in The Obsidian of Apples. The rules of the form are applied by choreographers to produce individual dances which can be performed. The dance is accompanied by any composition of The Compositional Choir as the dancers act out The Crumbly Slaughterhouse. The dancers perform in a double circle, moving to the music's oquino rhythm. This dance is a refined artform, with two specific moves to be mastered. The dance is intense and vivacious.

• The dance begins with the theme of the music. The dancers perform slowly with the music. This lively section is punctuated by jerking spins and expressive leaps performed in succession by group members.
• The dance enters a new section with the exposition of the theme of the music. The dancers perform slower and slower with the music. This lively aggressive section is punctuated by movement performed in retrograde by group members.
• The dance enters a new section with the recapitulation of the theme of the music. The dancers perform slowly with the music. This refined section is punctuated by joyous spins performed in succession by group members, spirited curved walks and independent body movement, with large moves.
• The irera is one of the fundamental dance moves. There is a body level change with a spin, refined footwork and a debauched hand gesture.
• The wori is one of the fundamental dance moves. There is a debauched sway with joyous independent body movement.
