The Cherry of Fisher-Berries

The Cherry of Fisher-berries is a performance partner dance originating in The Clocks of Disloyalty. The rules of the form are applied by choreographers to produce individual dances which can be performed. The dance is accompanied by The Flowery Spelt-Grain. The dancers perform in a circle, moving to the music's ujel rhythm. This dance is a refined artform, with five special positions to be mastered. The dance is sensual.

• The dance begins with the introduction of the music. The dancers perform faster and faster with the music. The partners rarely make contact, communicating intent constantly through visual cues. This subtle section is punctuated by spins.
• The dance enters a new section with the passages of the music. The dancers perform very quickly with the music. The partners dance closely, communicating intent by pulling away constantly. This energetic section is punctuated by large moves.
• The dance enters a new section with the next passages of the music. The dancers perform slower and slower with the music. The partners dance closely, communicating intent by pushing together constantly. This lively section is punctuated by right leg lifts and raised arms.
