The Sepia Iron

The Sepia Iron is a sacred solo dance originating in The Humid Volcano. The form guides dancers during improvised performances. The dance is accompanied by any composition of The Lavender Canyon. The dancer performs slower and slower to the music's thatthil rhythm. This dance is a refined artform, with five special positions to be mastered. The entire dance has a basic movement called the ucat. There is a series of four sensual steps in a circular pattern with a sluggish forward bend, a powerful raised arm and a twisting counterclockwise eighth quarter turn. The sprightly dance is punctuated by passive footwork and high body level.

• The ngarak is one of the fundamental dance positions. There should be a powerful arm carriage with a high body level.
• The enir is one of the fundamental dance positions. There should be a raised right arm with an aggressive facial expression.
• The ugath is one of the fundamental dance positions. There should be a spirited facial expression with a large rightward bend and a graceful arm carriage.
• The lisig is one of the fundamental dance positions. There should be a vivacious facial expression.
• The etag is one of the fundamental dance positions. There should be an undulating rightward bend with a passionate facial expression, a high body level and a powerful hand gesture.
