DANCES

[adreannaTal{fb}]

There are many different slave dances described in the books of Gor.

Below is a breakdown of each dance and what story it tells.



Name of Dance Description
Belt dance

This dance was developed and made famous by Port Kar dancing girls. It is performed on love furs with a Warrior. It receives its name from the basic principle that the girl is not supposed to rise above the Warrior's belt. It is very important that the girl does not rise to her feet. This dance will likely include many floor movements as the girl is not on her feet. This dance has phases and in the later phases of this dance the girl acknowledges that she is the Warrior's and tries to please him. He will remain aloof from her and her efforts will get more desperate. At the climax of the dance, the girl will be on her knees. The Warrior will be at her side, holding her behind the small of the back. The kajira will bends backwards until her head touches the furs and then the Warrior will lower her to the floor. They will end the dance in a kiss.


Chain Dance

The kajira obtains a length of chain from a Free person and uses it in a dance to show her submission and joy of being a slave. The chain can be wrapped around her body and the girl will writhe and fight at first, but knowing her true path as a slave in Gor, she will be submit because of her desire and the fire within her belly. In the end, she will rejoice at feeling the confinement of the chain around her slave heart.



Dance of the 6 Thongs

The girl has 6 leather thongs attached to her body at her ankles, wrists, belly, and neck. The dance begins with her capture. She will show her defiance until she is subdued by the Masters that hold her. The girl is presented to one Master, who asks her if she is slave, to which she will proudly proclaim, "la kajira!"



Gorean slave Dance

This can be done in any style a girl chooses. It typically begins with the girl seeming to be shy and timid, standing in the middle of the room, her eyes wide in fear and usually without silks. In the beginning, she fights being caught by the Master but then, under His strong hand, she feels the anger change to delicious submission as the Master subdues her and makes her His own. In the final stage of the dance, the girl will show her complete submission to the Master and her desire to please Him in all that she does. Often a chain and collar are used by the Master to "subdue" the girl.



Love dance of the Newly Collared Slave

There are many variations of this dance and most cities have their own version. The basic theme of this dance is that a girl dances with joy that she will soon lie in the arms of her strong master.



Need Dance

This dance is typically performed in five stages. During the first portion, the girl feigns indifference to her situation. In the second, she slowly becomes aware of the burning desires within, and struggles mentally to deny them. During the third stage, the girl will openly express her desire and willingness to please the Masters that she dances for...the girl will doubt her own worthiness, evident in her movements, both graceful and timid. In the fourth stage, the girl will blatantly display herself, showing her heat and need to be taken. The fifth and final stage, the girl openly begs to be used, needing this to make her complete.



Placatory Dance

This dance is performed to reassure the Master of the authenticity of the slaves contrition and the genuineness of her desire to do better. It is not a fixed-form dances, but is considered a 'free-form' dance, in which the slave, brings her own personality and movements, all based on her knowledge of the Master she is trying to appease.



Pole Dance

The kajira will seemingly attempt to arouse and entice the pole or "Master" with erotic movements that involve her touching and caressing "Him" (the pole), beckoning her use by "Him". This dance can be done by securing the kajira to the pole either real or imagined or the slave may remain free from the pole, swirling around in frantic and heated movements.



SA-EELA

The Sa-eela is one of the most moving, deeply rhythmic and erotic of the slaves dances of Gor. It belongs, generally to the genre of dances commonly known as the Lure Dances of the Love Starved Slave Girl. The common theme of the genre, of course, is the attempt on the part of a neglected slave to call herself to the attention of the master. The Sa-eela, usually performed in the nude, as though by a low slave, and by a girl freed of all impediments except her collar, is one of the most powerful of slave dances of Gor. This is because each girl, in her own way, brings the nature of her own body, her own dispositions, her own sensuality and needs, her own personality, to the dance.. For the woman, slave dance is a uniquely personal and creative art form. Too, it provides her with a wondrous modality for deeply intimate self-expression..



Serving (Scarf) Dance

Performed using ribbons or scarves as a form of enticement for the Master. The girl will offer to serve the Master in a most exciting manner. She typically wears a costume of scarves or uses a ribbon to arouse both herself and the Master. Falling to her knees, she offers a lustful serve of ka-la-na.



Submission Dance

Performed for the girl's true Master, each dance is different and unique, as is each Free person. It can be done in many ways, from the kajira allowing her hands to roam her own body in throbbing lust for her Master, to the girl writhing in desire and submitting at His feet. It is a very individual demonstration of a slave's true submission to her Master.



Tether dance

This dance is similar in some ways to the dance of the six thongs and the pole dance. The girl is tethered to a slave stake. She may then either fight the tether or love it. The tether may confine her body or caress it. The girl may also incorporate the slave stake in her dance so it becomes similar to a pole dance as well.



Tile Dance

Done on red tiles before a Master, this dance seeks to arouse Him to sexually take the girl. The slave does so by touching her own body and gesturing to Him that she is most willing to see to His every need. The dance is done completely upon the tiles often while the girl lays on her back or belly. The girl is usually attached to a slave ring below the Master's couch.



Virgin dance

There are three basic categories of virgin dances. First, they refer to the types of dances fitting for a virgin. These dances would rarely be seen in a tavern. Second, they refer to any dance that displays a virgin who is soon to lose her virginity. Third, and most commonly, it refers to a "role" dance where a girl dances as if she was a virgin but knows she is soon to be ravished. This type of dance is rarely done by an actual virgin. It is not a story dance but is more an emotional or attitudinal piece.



Whip Dance

This dance can involve the participation of a Master who will crack a whip above the girl's head as she dances, or, in most cases, the girl will be allowed the use of the whip and will crack it herself during her dance. It is performed to show the kajira's fear of being punished, but also to show the desire of the kiss of leather, the passion of and the fear of punishment.

*Basic Dance Points*

Try to keep the dances between 11-14 posts long. A slave does not wish to bore a Master by dancing forever nor does she wish to have the dance over before it seems to have started. Too short of a dance may seem like little effort was put into it.


Dances are not just movement. They are expressions of emotion. You should remember to add feelings and music into the poses while you dance. Give the Master something to focus on, remember, feel.


Each post should be 6-8 lines long. Not too short to get lost in the scroll and not too long to overflow the buffer. Do not cut and paste or use macros.....this is the sign of a lazy slave and also does not allow for changes to be easily made.


What will a slave do if something happens during the dance that will interrupt it? (I.E., A fight breaks out, an over enthusiastic Master decides to stop the dance and toss her over his shoulder, An assassination occurs). All kinds of things can happen. It is recommended that a slave watchs the screen and does not just go onto autopilot. A slave should change her dance depending on what is happening in the room.

Seperate poses with something like a BOLDED word or a small seperator like ~*~. This makes it easier for all to read.


One last thing. Remember that those who watch do not read minds. A slave should try to be clear on what is it she is doing. Have a definite beginning - where she is, what she is doing and a definite closing.




Basic Dance Structure





The first thing a slave should do before structuring a dance is to know which dance she will perform. Each gorean dance tells a specific story. Once a slave has decided which dance she will perform for a Master, it is time to begin scripting the flow of the dance.




Steps to a gorean dance:





The Introduction

This part of the dance is where the slave sets the scene, provides an environment and backdrop, and sets the type of dance to be performed perhaps.





The Crescendo

The part of the dance where the events of the dance are outlined

(e.g. In a capture dance, this is where the slave describes her anger at being pursued by the dark stranger. Which later leads to her emotions of being captured)





The Pinnacle

The part of the dance where the dance peaks, where the goal of the dance is reached, where for example, the slave is captured, collared, forgiven.




The Finish

The part of the dance where the dance is closed or completed. This is where the music stops, the slave expresses her efforts and perhaps performs a closing position for the audience. She should always remember to speak to the room so that the Free actually realizes she is finished.



example:

~ breasts rising and falling with the exertion of her movements, sparkling jade green eyes lift as her gentle voice carries across the dance pit~ "this one thanks the FREE for watching her submission dance, and prays her dance has pleased them this night"






How to begin writing a dance:




A slave should pick out the dance she wishes to perform. Once this has been accomplished, she should write down as many of the adjectives she uses normally to describe herself during serves.





Next, she needs to picture in her mind where she will be performing the dance. Will it be in sand, on the ground, on tiles or in a Master's home or private chambers. She should include in this rough draft the physical appearance of the area such as the lighting of the room, the effects of the lamps/fres, description of music, emotions, scents and aromas, sexual movements. The more realistic the description the better.





A slave should then design the basic structure. She needs to keep in mind the type of dance she are trying to perform and the four main areas of a dance. This will help her structure the dance itself.





She then needs to add her attributes to her structure and begin to construct each paragraph with description of the moves. This is still considered the rough draft so be wild with it. All dances should be origional so use materials found in the slaves home (sand, snakes, ribbons, sticks of fire, etc). Do not focus so much on perfection...simply write out the steps as they come to mind. A slave will edit her dance many times after this until she is satisfied with it.





Once this is done, a slave should go back and read the first draft in whole form. Asking herself, was the steps there correct, did the dance build in intensity and did she convey what she set out to when she first thought of her concept?





A slave should then take paragraph by paragraph, expanding on the movements and physical attributes of both the area and herself....making them match the image that she first concieved. She should determine if the movements are actually feasible. Make it realistic

(e.g. a girl cant drop to her back and writhe in the sand then in the next line jump and twirl)





A slave should polish the text, making it elegant, flowing, beautiful, free and easy to read. The salve should capture the audience with her story, bringing them into her circle with her beauty and seduction.





Dances are harder than serves to freehand. So most homes allow the slave to write them, then copy and paste. But remember to time the pastings correctly, just in case there are interruptions in the room she is as she may to pause or escape.





Do not paste the paragraphs so fast that readers do not have a chance to read and see the beauty of her hard work. It also shows an unrealistic time frame.




And last but not least, a slave should always spell check her dance before performing it. There is nothing more irritating than a FREE person focusing on a slaves grammer/vocabulary and having them miss what was intended.

The Pole Dance


The pole dance is one of beauty and of grace done with or without the pole, one can use an imaginary pole, refer to it in the dance or simply use the regular pole which is in the sandpit of most rooms. There are the following items that should be included in your dance:
1. Your body movements mean a lot, keep yourself focused on the way you move, each muscle trained for such a task.
2. In the pole dance usually in the beginning you feel the caress of the whip, your body would jerk and react as if being whipped.
3. You find yourself at the mercy of the Master/Mistress doing the whipping you would show your ability to please the person by dancing seductively for them using your body to show your desire to please.
4. At some point you begin to bring the dance to a climax of fast movements the music rises, you begin to dance hard and fast using the pole for your desire to please or your need for the Master/Mistress attention and approval.
5. You finally end the dance showing your need for attention, approval of the Masters/Mistresses, your sexual need increases, you worship the pole.
6. In the end of the dance, generally you do not use the pole, you would end at the foot of the Master/Mistress. Or in the sand away from the pole, when ending a dance it is good to know when it is done. One might stand and bow waiting for approval, or freeze in place seeking the approval of the patrons of the tavern, or refer to it in the dance. Nearing the end of her/his dance she/he pauses awe struck by the patrons interest she/he concludes the dance waiting for approval. Whatever you do, make sure they know it is the end of the dance.








Belt Dance


Called the belt dance because the dancer doesn't stand during the dance, and is never above the belt of the Warrior. Perhaps at the beginning of the dance, but soon is on the floor. This dance is done with a Warrior, may be referred to, or an actual Warrior may be used; however this person needs to act with you if you choose to do this dance with a Warrior, so you will have to practice with the Warrior if you are to use an actual one. This one uses an imaginary Warrior, as she would not begin to dream an actual Warrior would want to learn the dance of a slave. This dance shows the need of the dancer to have the Warrior take her and use her sexually. The following should be used in the dance:


1. At the beginning of the dance submission is shown, usually a slave is being whipped, show your body to the mark of the whip.
2. It is important to show the next stage as being willing to submit to the Warrior.
3. The next stage shows your need to be used sexually by the Warrior, how your body needs to have him notice you, and your desire to have him sexually.
4. As in all stages of Gorean dance you will build your crescendo your body needs to be satisfied your desire great to be seen and be used.
5. In the final stage you touch the Warrior begging to be used imploring he take you and use you, at the very end the Warrior will touch you hold you and finally kiss you deeply accepting your offer.
6. Again at the end of the dance the Warrior and the slave await approval for the dance. One might stand and bow waiting for approval, or freeze in place seeking the approval of the patrons of the tavern, or refer to it in the dance. Nearing the end of her/his dance she/he pauses awe struck by the patrons interest she/he concludes the dance waiting for approval. Whatever you do, make sure they know it is the end of the dance.









Dance of Seduction


This dance shows the need of the slave to be taken and used sexually by the Master/Mistress, it is a good dance for male or female slaves. This is usually done in front of the Master/Mistress you wish to please you, not in the sand or center of the room. The following should be used in the dance:


1. This dance is usually performed nude, may be either at the start, or your silks taken off in the beginning of your dance, your choice.
2. You are showing your need of being used sexually, it is important to start with showing your desire to please, preen yourself, make yourself desirable.
3. The next stage is to show your willingness to flaunt your body to the Master/Mistress touch your body make them notice you and your starvation of pleasure, how lonely you are for a touch or a look of approval.
4. You want to build to this point from the previous motions, in this stage you are trying to show how much your body desires touch, you then begin to beg for a touch or a look, they will look, you will respond.
5. The next stage is the crescendo once again your music is lively you noticed them look at you, you show your desire to please, refer to your lovely sex how you will please them.
6. The final stage is one of total submission; you must show your submission by ending kissing the slipper or boot, keeping your body to the floor. You may now touch the leg to the knee only and down to the foot, you are grateful for the attention the Master/Mistress has given you, you are now ready to be used sexually, and you submit your body. You generally don't look at them at all, ending with your eyes down. Remember to end the dance by either freezing or speaking your submission: Master/Mistress this most unworthy one submits her/his body for your pleasure. The music may die down or you show in another way that the dance has ended.








Dance of the Seven Veils


In this dance you wear seven veils, they are specific colors, you may choose which they are but the sequence of taking the veils off is very specific, when done you will be nude. You may start in the sandpit, but in during the dance you will seduce everyone in the room by taking off your veils for them. Flaunting around the room for all the Masters/Mistresses, and yes it is all right to give a veil to a Mistress, they love the dance as well, and will appreciate being included. You are there to please all in the tavern you are dancing for and wish to please and honor your Master or tavern with your dance. It is also nice and a great touch to name the Master/Mistress you dance before, be seductive in your dance as you take each veil off, describe how you do it, and who you do it to. It is not necessary to take each veil off in front of someone, but at the end of the dance you should be in front of a Master offering yourself nude for their pleasure. The following should be used in the dance in this order:


1. The first veil to be taken off should be the veil holding your hair back or the veil that is around your head as a head band, it is not necessary to tie the hair back, you may use a veil as a headband instead. This veil is usually a dark color.
2. The second veil is the left thigh; this veil is usually a red color.
3. The third veil is taken off the right thigh; it is usually a medium color such as a green or light green.
4. The fourth veil is off your front it is generally a lighter blue color, and that shows you have a veil underneath it hiding your sex yet.
5. The fifth veil is taken off your face showing your beautiful features that were hidden under it, and shows the veil that covers your breasts when taken off. This is a generally dark color as well.
6. The sixth veil is covering your breasts tightly as you move around and take it off, you are bare showing your naked breasts, it is usually a veil of lighter color wrapped around.
7. The last veil is obviously covering your sex, when taking the dark veil off, you should be on your knees your hips thrusting upwards unwrapping the small skirt and then naked. One might stand and bow waiting for approval, or freeze in place seeking the approval of the patrons of the tavern, or refer to it in the dance. Nearing the end of her/his dance she/he pauses awe struck by the patrons interest she/he concludes the dance waiting for approval. Whatever you do, make sure they know it is the end of the dance.








The Capture Dance

In this dance you are a Panther girl, you are hunting, and then being hunted. There are several logical stages to this dance, it is not overly sexual, but in the end it implies it. This could be modified for male slaves, as well, being a part of a community that is raided by slavers, still the end is the same you will be a slavers acquisition.

1. The first stage you are dancing showing you are on the hunt for prey, you search around looking for you catch. You are a proud Panther girl.
2. The second stage is that you have heard some noise, cries from the distance of others, you go and see what's up.

4. The next stage you are frightened hearing a slaver coming closer to you, yet excited you will not be captured, you will fight with your spear.
5. You hear them all around you trying to trap you, you try to escape but can't they have surrounded you, you will fight.
6. You are being taken roughly by a slaver, he strips you, shackles you, and you are now in his power, a slave.
7. The slaver is examining you roughly, you fight your bindings, and he gets rough with you slapping you or whipping you into his submission.
8. You give in and submit offering your submission to him in the way a slave; he may take you sexually if you wish to include that.

In the end of the dance you go with him naked to an unknown world to you, a slave which is naked, he ko-lars you, keeping you bound, leashing you to a chain with the other slaves captured you are being taken away from your home. One might stand and bow waiting for approval, or freeze in place seeking the approval of the patrons of the tavern, or refer to it in the dance. Nearing the end of her/his dance she/he pauses awe struck by the patrons interest she/he concludes the dance waiting for approval. Whatever you do, make sure they know it is the end of the dance.








The Sa-eel Dance


This is one of the most powerful dances of Gor, it is especially hard to do, all of the changes in movement with regard to the music is difficult to get down. It is done normally in the nude showing the female at her most vulnerable. It shows the slave's need for her Master, the neglected slave to call her attention to her Master. The following steps should be included in the dance:


1. This is performed for an entire audience, but not in the sandpit, more on the floor before some of the tables, you are nude.
2. Start out by dancing close to some of the Masters, perhaps using a table or the furs to show you off first.
3. You are in a cage, taken away from men, you can't get out, feel lonely and detached, frustrated for being away from your Master.
4. While in the cage you seem to see someone to come and take you away, you look with your eyes to say I? But then no one is there you must show that clearly in the dance.
5. You begin to fantasize about your Master, don special silks and jewellery for him, then crosses her wrists as being led from the cage, but once to the bars, of course she is still in the cage you must show that part clearly. Knowing that you are still in the cage, you fall to the center of the floor and weep.
6. Suddenly you do hear a sound, the music changes, you see men coming for you, at first you don't care, showing indifference, then suddenly pleading to be considered, as the door opens you kneel in nadu.
7. She considers her jailers, then she is hit with a whip a couple of times, she kneels again, she is very happy to be taken to Master to dance, your eyes should show your excitement. Holding her arms out wrists crossed you are being taken out of the cell, you hands cruelly placed behind you and bound, a man takes your hair pulling you down you walk bent over in a wide circle.
8. You are thrown down on your knees, cruelly in front of Masters as a lowly slave, naked, bound, you rise, feeling your hands unbound, putting your hands in the air your wrists facing palms out as in the beginning of the dance.
9. Now are the final stages of the dance where you call upon yourself to make the Master want to notice you, the various aspects of your beauty.
10. The final stage is to be seductive to put yourself at the mercy of the Master through fear or desire, but make him notice you. One might stand and bow waiting for approval, or freeze in place seeking the approval of the patrons of the tavern, or refer to it in the dance. Nearing the end of her/his dance she/he pauses awe struck by the patrons interest she/he concludes the dance waiting for approval. Whatever you do, make sure they know it is the end of the dance.








The Need Dance


In this dance there are 5 distinct phases, it is a common Gorean dance, many slaves choose to do this dance, it shows in stages the intense need a girl has to be raped wanted by men, desired. The following are the stages to portray in your dance:


1. The first stage you are indifferent to the Masters you dance for, you are a slave and expected as a slave to dance.
2. For she has not yet been raped, her distress and uneasiness, her restlessness, her disturbance by her sexual urges, must become subtly more manifest. Here it must be evident that she is beginning to feel her sexuality, and drives, profoundly, and yet is struggling against them. Toward the end of this phase it must become clear not only that she has sexual needs, and deep ones, but that she is beginning to fear that she may not be, simply as she is, of sufficient interest to men to obtain their satisfaction. Here, need, coupled with anxiety and self-doubt, for she has not yet been seized by strong men, must become clear.
3. In the third phase of the dance she, in an almost ladylike fashion, acknowledges herself defeated in her attempt to conceal her sexuality; she then, again in an almost ladylike fashion, delicately but clearly, with restraint but unmistakably, acknowledges, and publicly, before masters, that she has sexual needs. Then, with smiles, and gestures, displaying herself, she makes manifest her readiness for the service of men, her willingness, and her receptivity. She invited them, so to speak to have her. But you have not been taken yet, you begin to doubt yourself slightly as no one has grabbed you yet
4. In this phase of the dance, then, shamelessly the woman dances her need and, shamelessly, begs for her sexual satisfaction. The phase of the dance is sometimes known as the Heat of the Collared She-Sleen.
5. In this phase the girl, overcome by sexual desire and terrified that she may not be found sufficiently pleasing, clearly manifests, and utterly, that she is a slave female. In this portion of the dance the girl is seldom on her feet. Rather, sitting, rolling, and changing position, on her side, her back, her belly, half kneeling, half sitting, kneeling, crawling, reaching out, bending backwards, lying down, twisting with passion, gesturing to her body, presenting it to masters for their inspection and interest, whimpering, moaning, crying out, brazenly presenting herself as a slave, pleading for her rape, she writhes, a piteous, begging, vulnerable, ready slave, a woman fit for and begging for the touch of a master, a woman begging to become, at the least touch of her master, a totally submitted slave. . One might stand and bow waiting for approval, or freeze in place seeking the approval of the patrons of the tavern, or refer to it in the dance. Nearing the end of her/his dance she/he pauses awe struck by the patrons interest she/he concludes the dance waiting for approval. Whatever you do, make sure they know it is the end of the dance.








The Whip Dance


Commonly on irc you will see the whip dance performed when a slave takes the whip into her hands and does a dance with it. However, in the books it is not done this way, since it is death to touch a weapon, one must consider this before doing this dance. It is performed when a man holds the whip, and cracks the whip; the slave is there to do a dance that is all. A male or female slave can perform this, as it is common for either to be whipped. The whip dance shows the following steps:


1. At first you are being indifferent to dance, you dance, but glare at the Masters who made you dance.
2. The whip cracks you are hit, you show the pain and start to dance with more rhythm; more effort put into your dance. The whip cracks again, you feel the pain searing through your body, you dance as your life depends on it.
3. The whip cracks again your body torn and sore you dance with more seduction, more fevered dance, it is your ability to dance for him, to him
4. You may or may not to be tied to the pole, or use it in your dance, the dance doesn't require it at all, but it is a nice touch.
5. As you dance the Master who yields the whip will crack it again, not touching your body, but making you dance faster, the music rises to a frenzied pitch.
6. At the end of the dance is it usual for the Master holding the whip to send you out to the crowd, so that you dance table to table (if you want to include that), but at the end you are successful in making the Master approve of your dance. One might stand and bow waiting for approval, or freeze in place seeking the approval of the patrons of the tavern, or refer to it in the dance. Nearing the end of her/his dance she/he pauses awe struck by the patrons interest she/he concludes the dance waiting for approval. Whatever you do, make sure they know it is the end of the dance.
