The Lavender Poem

The Lavender Poem is a war dance originating in The Robust Berry. The form guides dancers during improvised performances. The dance is accompanied by The Tressed Styles. The dancers perform loosely mingled, moving to the music's otoga rhythm. The straight-lined dance is punctuated by calm leg lifts.

• The dance begins with the passages of the music. The dancers perform faster and faster with the music. This section is relaxed and sprightly.
• The dance enters a new section with the next passages of the music. The dancers perform slowly with the music. This section is punctuated by strong body level changes, runs and straight walks.
• The dance enters a new section with the bridge-passage of the music. The dancers perform very quickly with the music. This grotesque aggressive section is punctuated by powerful sway, high left leg lifts and lively footwork.
• The dance enters a new section with the finale of the music. This section is punctuated by right leg lifts and high body level.
