The Bulb of Fords

The Bulb of Fords is a sacred solo dance originating in The Gullies of Boarding. The form guides dancers during improvised performances. The dance is accompanied by any composition of The Gulf of Waxes. The dancer performs along an improvised path, moving to the music's itho rhythm. This dance is a refined artform, with two special positions and two specific moves to be mastered. The fluid refined sluggish dance is punctuated by twisting leaps, subtle spins and soft counterclockwise quarter turns.

• The dance begins with the passages of the music. This section is punctuated by large raised right arms.
• The dance enters a new section with the next passage of the music. This section is punctuated by raised right arms, with partially realized moves.
• The mede is one of the fundamental dance positions. There should be a raised right arm with a forward bend.
• The curo is one of the fundamental dance positions. There should be a leg lift with a soft backward bend, a high body level and an understated arm carriage.
• The cilole is one of the fundamental dance moves. There is a sway with a passive leg lift, a large clockwise eighth turn and a raised left arm.
