The Taciturn Intricacies
The Taciturn Intricacies is a social partner dance which grew out of the performances of The Curious Fiends. The form guides dancers during improvised performances. The dance is accompanied by The Sweet Luxury. The dancers perform in several lines. The partners dance closely, communicating intent by pulling away. There are partner changes throughout the dance with the lead turning out clockwise. This dance is a refined artform, with four special positions to be mastered. The joyous proud dance is punctuated by the raised left arms of the follower and vigorous independent body movement.
- The xenmu is one of the fundamental dance positions. There should be a low body level.
- The ogo is one of the fundamental dance positions. There should be an energetic raised arm with a vivacious leftward bend from the lead.
- The lasm is one of the fundamental dance positions. There should be a low body level with an aggressive raised left arm from the follower, an elaborate forward bend from the lead and a grotesque right leg lift.
- The lubu is one of the fundamental dance positions. There should be a debauched facial expression from the follower with an undulating arm carriage, an expressive hand gesture from the follower and a lively forward bend.
