We will cover the following points in this lesson:

-To Begin with - basic, over all thoughts on dances
-Scripting of a Dance - basic 'how to' wwith a layering effect to build the dance
-Structure of the Dance - Four basic conncepts to the dance, much like telling a story
-Final thoughts and wrap up.

We all wish to dance and dance well. For a dance is a girl's way of expressing her inner self for the pleasure of the Masters and Mistresses who watch. The dances are our creations but never forget that we dance to please others.

>>> To Begin with <<<
Here are some points that this girl has discovered while creating her dances:

-Try to keep your dances between 11-14 poses long.
We do not wish bore a Master by dancing forever and a day nor do we 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. (We will cover this more later.)

- Each pose should be 3-5 lines long. Not too short to get lost in the scroll and not too long to overflow the buffer.

- Timing. Timing is -very- important in a dance. Some like to set up their dances on an automatic timer. A girl does not recommend this. First, you just hit the macro and go - it distances a girl from the dance. Makes it too automatic.

Second, what will you do if something happens during the dance that will interrupt it? (I.E., A fight breaks out, an over enthusiastic Master decides to screw the dance and toss you over his shoulder, Net split, An assassination...) All kinds of things can happen.

A girl recommends that you gauge it to the audience. Usually, 60-70 seconds is enough time between poses. The best thing to do is to reread each pose as it comes up. Not only will you keep track of time, you may also discover something in your dance that you wish to improve upon.

- Try to seperate your 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. Try to be clear on what is it you are doing. Have a definite beginning - where are you, what are you doing and a definite closing. (More on this later.)

>>> Scripting the Dance <<<

OK. The actual scripting of a dance. It can be difficult to put your ideas to paper. You may have a lot of vague ideas and a basic timeline and order of events. That is all you need. Scripting a dance is like painting. Yes, a girl knows that it sounds silly but it works.

We will be scripting a classic Pole Dance.

FIRST - sketch the idea out on the page... jot down your random thoughts, free form:

- Go to pole/desc outfit/wait for music.
- Music begins/twirl about pole/mimic laashing
- Repent/beg forgiveness
- Pole becomes Master/pressing to it
> - Submitting/longing for his touch/hips moving
- move about pole/caressing body/heat - Faster/harder
- Climax
- End pose

The thing to remember with your free form thoughts: It is NOT written in stone. Half the time, my poses do not match the jotted thought.

SECOND - begin to fill in the descriptions of the dance - adding in color and spark... bring the dance to life and setting the mood of the dance.

- Go to pole/desc outfit/wait for music... becomes:

eden moves to the whipping pole in the middle of the sand pit. She tosses her hair from her face, eyes bright with excitement. She smoothes over the leathers of her kajir and lifts her arms up to grasp the chain as if bound for punishment... ready for the music to begin.

THIRD - Fill in the description with appropriate adjectives, polish the pose.

eden moves as graceful as a prowling feline to the whipping pole in the middle of the sand pit. She tosses her mane of redgold hair from her face, emerald eyes bright with excitement. Smoothing the leathers of her kajir over the curves of her female body, she lifts her arms up to grasp the chain as if bound for punishment.... ready for the music to begin.

You may find that one pose with not be enough to fill out one of your jotted thoughts. That is fine. Simply break it up into two or more poses. But be careful to not get bogged down in too much detail. Let each pose flow from one to another. Always read your dance to yourself out loud. See if it makes sense and flows together. You may have to add an transitional pose to link to major poses together.

>>> Structure of the Dance <<<

Think of the dance as a story. You are trying to express yourself, tell your story for all who watch to see, feel and understand. It is important to have the following parts to a dance:

- Beginning - This is a clear sign that the dance has begun:

eden moves as graceful as a prowling feline to the whipping pole in the middle of the sand pit. She tosses her mane of redgold hair from her face, emerald eyes bright with excitement. Smoothing the leathers of her kajir over the curves of her female body, she lifts her arms up to grasp the chain as if bound for punishment.... ready for the music to begin.

- Build up - The dance is a story... there needs to be a definite progression of events:
For example: With a Pole Dance - the dance can start as a punishment... moving to begging for forgiveness... moving to offering oneself for the pleasure of the Master... moving to pleasure and joy and finally to a conclusion.

With a Veil Dance - there is a definite progression as the 7 veils are shed from the body. You could tell the story of a FreeWoman made slave... or of a slave coming out of her shell into her full sexuality... veils shed like a cocoon.

- Climax - The pinnacle of the Dance, where the 'story' of the Dance is realized. This is usually one or two poses from the end of the dance with the last poses to wrap up the dance:
Some examples:
Pole Dance - The Joy of finally pleasuring the Master.
Veil Dance - The point where the last Veil is shed.
Submission Dance - The point where the slave submits to the Master.
Capture Dance - The point where the slave is actually captured.

- End Pose - This is a clear sign that the dance has ended. This girl likes to nadu, bowing her head in respect for those who watched the dance and to name the dance:

eden shifts from the pole, crawling a bit away from it, where she kneels tall, chin lifted proudly, emerald eyes lowered, hands resting with palms facing the moons of Gor upon thighs parted wide to display her body. She bows her head in respect to those who have watched as her Pole Dance comes to its conclusion.

>>> Final thoughts on scripting a dance <<<

- Always dance from the heart. Dance what you feel and describe it. Let others know your passions, your joy, your pain and sorrow. A dance is to affect all who watch... drawn them... sweet nectar for the taking.

- Be original. A dance is a -personal- expression. You have no need to copy another... even if the dance has been danced a thousand times before. Make the dance your own.... claim it, body and soul.

- Be sexy. Face, sisters... that is why the Masters watch. They like to see the female expression of sexuality. You can be as blatant or innuendo-ish as you like. This girl prefers more the innuendo but there are times for the blatant, in-your-face lustful poses.

On the practical side:

- Spell check! Nothing will distract more from a dance then badly spelled words.

- Reality/Continuity check... is what you dance possible? Don't be on your knees in one pose and leaping in the next pose - unless you write that you are rising from your knees to leap into the air... Remember no one is a mind reader - they cannot see the dance that is in yyour head.

- Read your dance out loud to yourself. Make sure it flows smoothly and makes sense. Don't be afraid to go back add things or subtract them. A dances is a living thing... forever being modified.

- Show your sisters and get their opinion if you think you need help. But be warned... if you ask for an opinion... expect an honest answer... and accept the fact that if your sisters do not like the dance - it is only the dance they are critiquing... not you personally.

- This is please your Master. None of what this girl has said matters one wit if it does not please the Master you dance for. Tailor your dances to suit your Master. If he is a leg man - more leg poses... if he wishes your to touch yourself... caress your body more... Modify all the suggestions this girl has said to fit the audience you will be dancing for.

- Finally... have fun and be yourself! The class was written by eden.
