The Fragrant Pantomime

The Fragrant Pantomime is a social group dance originating in The Wild Seasons. The form guides dancers during improvised performances. The dance is accompanied by The Wonder of Glittering. The dancers perform in several lines along an improvised path. This dance is a refined artform, with one special position and one specific move to be mastered. The joyous vivacious vigorous dance is punctuated by crude spins, with movement mirrored by group members.

• The dance begins with the chorus of the music. The dancers perform faster and faster with the music. This section is lively and aggressive.
• The dance enters a new section with the verse of the music. This section is elaborate and sinuous.
• The ada the fundamental dance position. There should be a sensual arm carriage with a low body level, a left leg lift and a grotesque backward bend.
• The mamo the fundamental dance move. There is an expressive body level change with elaborate independent body movement, an aggressive spin and a proud leftward bend.
