The Fancy Velvet
The Fancy Velvet is a solo performance dance originating in The Amusing Nations. The rules of the form are applied by choreographers to produce individual dances which can be performed. The dance is accompanied by The Amethyst of Verse. The dancer performs slower and slower to the music's ushav rhythm. The entire dance has a basic movement called the spishab. There is a series of seven steps in a circular pattern with an undulating hand gesture. The dance is serene.
- The dance enters a new section with the verse of the music. This subtle section is punctuated by sway.
- The dance enters a new section with the chorus of the music. This section is punctuated by independent body movement.
- The dance enters a new section with the bridge-passage of the music. This section is punctuated by elaborate straight walks and body level changes.
- The dance enters a new section with the next verse of the music. This sprightly weightless section is punctuated by low body level and refined facial expressions.
