The Rhythmic Floret

The Rhythmic Floret is a solo performance dance originating in The Diagonal Sea-Monster. 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 Flowery Lemon. This dance is a refined artform, with three special positions to be mastered. The aggressive dance is punctuated by proud clockwise quarter turns.

• The dance begins with the theme of the music. The dancer performs slowly with the music. This section is joyous and vigorous.
• The dance enters a new section with the bridge-passage of the music. The dancer performs very quickly with the music. This section is energetic and jerking.
• The dance enters a new section with the variations on the theme of the music. The dancer performs very quickly with the music. This section is punctuated by high arm carriage.
• The ellusmesmuk is one of the fundamental dance positions. There should be an undulating arm carriage.
