The Grizzle of Adventures
The Grizzle of Adventures is a sacred solo dance originating in The Responsible Empires. The form guides dancers during improvised performances. The dance is accompanied by any composition of The Bold Certainty as the dancer acts out the story of the human deity Ala Goalflew the Certain Gleams. The dancer performs very quickly to the music's tikbo rhythm. The entire dance has a basic movement called the hoth. There is a series of five fluid steps in an intricate pattern with a sensual arm carriage, a spirited facial expression and independent body movement. The dance is punctuated by proud clockwise quarter turns.
- The dance begins with the verse of the music. This section is punctuated by raised left arms and spins, with aborted moves.
- The dance enters a new section with the chorus of the music. This sensual section is punctuated by straight-lined body level changes, jerking spins and sprightly raised left arms.
- The dance enters a new section with the bridge-passage of the music. This serene undulating section is punctuated by raised left arms.
