Notes: Why the [ and ] characters? That indicates quotes form the dances. To respect the dancers work I don't usually quote the entire dance (at least in text - sometimes I do in video). I encourage you to catch them for a performance. I also have some motion sketches of the event, which I may find time to edit and place on this blog later.
What did you think of the props at this event?
About the Event
The School of Gorean Dance’s (SGD) Tandem Exhibition, entitled “A Tandem with a Twist,” was held at Port Haifa on Saturday, August 9 at 1PM SLT. This was a special, highly anticipated event as the tandem team was to be composed of one Free (Master of Mistress) and one slave.
The idea of such a tandem dance event originated after a recent dance course series of the Academy of Gorean Dance’s (AGD) in the City of Port Olni when I performed a tandem dance with my Snow at our AGD graduation dance. (The series of courses were amazing, and highly recommended , My deep thanks to the teacher, staff and sample dancers for the program, and yes, especially you Iris).
Rules for the SGD tandem dance exhibition included: Each tandem couple must be made up of either a Master or Mistress and one slave; intro post and end post may be posted by either partner; all other posts must be equally divided between dance partners; both dance partners must be animated (eg. a Master cannot be seated on a chair for the duration of the dance or considered a prop).
Nevar Lobo served as Master of Ceremonies for the the event which was broadcasted live on Gorean's Portal Radio with the kilt melting voice of DJ of Tabi (Xtabi Galaxy).
Sponsors of the event were:
- Hayden Cerise of Hayden Cerise Photography. Hayden is well known for her photography skills and donated one portrait photo for each participant. I relish each picture of hers I see, or she has done for me.
- Ame Lobo of Fire Within who created a special set of jewelry for each of the slaves dancing today. She is also an accomplished dancer in her own right.
- Marbella Pronovost of Soedara, a long time supporter of dance events, donated an outfit for each of the slaves dancing. Fine as they are, you will not see me be wearing them as I am not sure they looks as good an a master!
- Tia Biscuit of [Tia] who donated a Jarl's bed for all the Free Men dancing in the event. This is very handy for when one is tired after the dance ;-p
- Arwen Serpente of Arwen's Creations who donated a gown for all of the Free Women taking part in the dance event. The Free women danced so well I am starting to enjoy the whole (and under served) category of their dance form.
1 Koardan and his Snow from Port Haifa
[Master Koardan, a slaver at Port Haifa, and his beast, Snow, will perform a Tile Dance. Koardan has been a slaver at the Port Haifa Gorean Academy since 2011. After seeing the many arts of dance he made it his passion, Judging many events, and taking dance training at Haifa, Olni's Academy of Gorean Dance, and the School of Gorean Dance.
Their dance today will show his girl in her need, as if she is completely alone, as if her need is known only to herself; then, her Master surprises her, and she attempts to suppress the helplessness and torment of her needs; failing at this, she surrenders her pride in its final shred before him, begging him to touch her. Her master speaks - “The only thing that approaches the beauty of dance is my slave, Snow. Luckily, with her, I get both.”]
They called their dance: “Reflections”
( Music: Chance's End )
Snow gave us a glimpse of who she was and what she felt as if the dancer was giving an authentic inner peek of herself.
ﻜησѡ (snow.mistwood) leans rigidly, pulled forward by the unrelenting weight of the chain, hands splaying upon fleshy thighs and then clenching tightly into small fists, a square little chin lifts turning away as if in resentment, “Alone again! Such is the life of a slaver's girl.” Barren gaze slips past the boundary of crimson tiles, lips pursing in a silent indignation.
I showed what it takes to be a Gorean slaver and showed little mercy for such a girl’s insolence.
[Koardan’s voice booms as he speaks. “Many necks fill my steel, but one only… One only sates my appetite.”
Koardan grasps her collar in his iron hand, then presses her face to the cold tile. He drives her eyes to his, seeking, searching, as if demanding a response - a response he already knows the fates will bring.]
Yes, I wrote my own emotes (with some help from my Kajira. How would we make our male emotes sound Masterly? I tired to make mine concise, and to rely on nouns and verbs).
2 Lady JJ and her girl Angel from Tarn's Point
Lady JJ and her girl, Angel, of Tarn's Point were the next tandem. Lady JJ is the Free Companion of Kymir Pardus. She is the owner of two dance instructors: Iris and Angel. Both girls have been active in dance and they have pulled their Mistress along for the ride. A major supporter of dance she has been part of the dance community as an owner but is now moving into other areas such as Dance for Free Woman as well as having completed the Judging Gorean Dance Class. After seeing her perform, I am very please the Free Women will get to benefit from her talent. This dance was dedicated to her Warrior Companion who can find a challenge in anything.
Angel has been dancing for several years and is an instructor at the Academy of Gorean Dance. She was excited for the opportunity to do a dance with her Mistress.
They danced a dance called: A Mother's Farewell
An emotional dance performed beautifully.
[Angel (angelx.alcott): 's dark eyes raise as she spies her mother, slight smile curves upon ruby lips. She turns to regard her Master then back to the one whom raised her. Breath catches in her throat she asks ever so softly, "Master may I speak?". Seeing the quick nod she turns back sadness evident as her words catch in her throat, "Mother, my Master tells me that the time has come for us to leave." Blinks rapidly fighting her urge to cry, strong shoulders slump as her gaze falls to the ground.
JJ (ladiejj.jewell) stands at the edge of the stones between herself and her child. Her arms wrap tightly around slender form as if attempting to hold Herself together with just Her own two hands. Her body tremors, Her rising sadness apparent to all nearby. Emerald eyes glance over the bare skin of the one that kneels before Her. Proof of the slavery that now divides them. Silence stretches as the words sink in. Erect frame moves as She starts forward to close the distance. "I see" where the only words that She seemed able to force out of constricted lungs.]
3 Azerbain Grey and his girl Nela from the Island of Jahesa
Azerbain Grey and his girl Nela from the Island of Jahesa. Azerbain, tarnsman of Jahesa is the Free Companion of Lady Juavana Grey. He and his slave, Nela, performed a Belt Dance.
Throughout the dance, Azerbain showed us how he envisioned his slave’s physical moves were to be expected as her Master and how Nela expressed her essence as his girl gracefully.
[Azerbain Grey (azerbain) his own mental scale had somehow measured that the slut was now ready to perform beyond even his own desire. He moved back two steps to let her have more room. He wanted her oddly now to feel free. "Now dance!" he roared at her. This time the tarnsman used that tone of command, one felt at times of battle. He reached back and felt for the arm of his chair and sat down, belt in hand.
Nela (arkarose) Raised her hands to him, glassy eyes locked with his “yes, my Master. I wish nothing but to please you” cried out. Dived back graciously, one arm extended to the eerie, tar-black sky. Deft fingers treaded loose sienna locks, fingertips swept down each hort of her upper section, the fine neck encircled with his collar, succulent larmas freed from the covering chains of her locks. Teasing smile danced upon cherry lips as she rolled on the sands with the flamboyance of her wanton nature, never rising to her full height.]
The last time I shared the sands with Azerbain it was in battle in an Arena. It made me happy to see his skills are also strong in the dance pit!
4 Lady Ame and Karah of Port Haifa
Lady Ame and her slave, Karah danced for the love of one man, Companion and Master, Nevar of Port Haifa. Lady Ame Lobo is an instructor of Free Women dance at the School of Gorean Dance and Karah is the poor slave dragged to every dance class and event imaginable by her obsessive owners. And, don't let Karah fool you, she is a dancer that has only begun to blossom.
They called their dance: Meadow of Desire
[Ame Lobo (amethyst.starostin)'s face flushes as her thoughts turn more towards their chambers, arms wrap around lithe waist as he would, firm bottom gliding teasingly against him, stepping away to fix him with a sultry gaze of challenge, daring him to find out what's beneath the heavy layers, gasping at her own forwardness as she mentally challenges, "follow that slave!"
Karah (carlymarierae) wraps slender arms about her, swaying with dreamily desires etched on her face as she imagines being held against his masculine frame. Sinking low against cool grasses with head bowed submissively, releasing needful whimpers from trembling pink lips before rising back up, a finger glides over sensuous mouth that she imagines trailing across his body.
Ame Lobo (amethyst.starostin) momentarily covers her face the color of bright crimson, releases a breathy giggle, dips to the meadow floor as if in submission to his powerful presence rising with hypnotically undulating waist, thrusts robe covered backside into the air in invitation. "Let those men call all us free women frigid now" laughs as she ponders "I wonder if they've ever viewed ladies dancing like this."]
5 Kymir Pardus & Sura
The next tandem was Kymir, who is a Warrior and freely admits he entered this exhibition after being challenged by his free companion, JJ. Their slaves Iris and Angel are well respected as dancers and teachers so Kymir is well versed in the world of dance, having attended many events in support of them.
Sura is the First Girl of the Port Haifa Kennels and the innocent bystander who was dragged into the whole plot. A graduate of the Academy of Gorean Dance and recently appointed instructor at the School of Gorean dance, she had great fun writing this dance and they both the audience enjoyed.
Their dance was called “Tavern Tease.” I found it aptly named.
[Kymir Pardus (gabe.constantine) 's eyes glint with mirth as he pulls the girl closer to him and gives her a Master's kiss, lips demanding a response as hands roam her back slowly. As the kiss deepens he glances at the other girl out the corner of his eye. He surreptitiously watches her as he finally sees her start to move like the she-sleen he knew she was. Every provocative sway and self-grope drawing more and more of his attention, a reminder of why he circled her throat in steel in the first place
Sura (naybabe) 's succulent breasts threaten to spill from their precarious confines as the kajira bends suggestively before the port's scribe, slender arms reaching out towards him in blatant invitation. Barely an Ihn passes before the little tease is off again in a whirl of willowy limbs to taunt and tease her next victim. A little moan escapes lush lips as palms press tightly to the heated flesh of rounded belly, circling in teasing patterns and leaving a blazing trail of desire in their wake.]
6 Lady Marie & Maddy
Lady Marie is Head of Caste of Scribes in the City of Vigo. She loves the rhythm of dance and is learning all she can about it. Lady Marie has been studying to become a dance judge, and took this opportunity to learn more about dance.
Maddy is owned by Ramius Marco of the City of Vigo and has spent the last two and a half years enjoying Gorean dance. Maddy enjoys the occasional venture into public dancing and likes to be receptive to all thoughts and methods. Maddy is always willing to help wherever needed and enjoys working with new dancers.
Their dance was called “Hidden Desires” about a Mistress who enters a secluded garden and shyly peeks over to the man, who, as always, ignores her. Blue sparkling eyes touch over his handsome face as he reads a scroll, her inner voice sings... heart fluttering as she wishes she could dance the way she knows he would enjoy.
I found the use of the Shadow to be powerful. What art! Hidden desires? It was hard to hide mine. I teased an offer to buy them, knowing my money was safe as no one would part with such talent (and the shadow may cost extra).
[Maddy (madyx): Feeling the internal binds tightening, turns a desperate glance toward him. Cries out in frustration being reined in. Not wanting to return to the chains of propriety. Struggles to move further away. Pleading hands reach out to him...begging to be recognized...freed. The pull back to suppression to strong... slowly vanishes back, the longing, the need once more silenced. Sullenly retreats into the darkness.
Lady Marie (marieoh.wycliffe): The music is slowing as she does too, her head starts to droop a little as she realises it is time for her to leave the normally restful garden. As two big tears slip from her eyes onto her veil and blushing cheeks, they are brushed away quickly before he has chance to see.
Lady Marie (marieoh.wycliffe): Her sedate dance stops as the music slows.. It all seemingly a dream as she tears her eyes from him she stiffens her spine, her head coolly tilts in a dismissing nod his way. and walks regally from the garden turning her back to him..... walking away.]
7 Gunner & Babypea
The final tandem was Gunner and Babypea. Gunner and Babypea met in SL on May 11, 2011, when a friend of hers sold her to him as a joke. They have been together ever since. He relocated to Australia (explains the hat) the next year and they were married 2 months later. They consider SL the place they met and still come to SL to dance and RP Gor. Gunner is the Head Slaver in Turia and Babypea, just dances… Lots! They were pleased to be a part of this novel tandem exhibition and were a tandem well enjoyed.
[Babypea von Phoenix (babypeavonphoenix.bikergrrl): Greetings Masters and Mistresses, Greetings collared beasts! If you will please imagine, a lure girl sent by her evil Master to lure unsuspecting Free Men from the busy streets into an ally, where her Master's henchmen wait to pounce them and sell them to the prison camps. As in Dancer of Gor. Such a vile thing to do to an unsuspecting man who has committed no crime! But a girl must obey.
It was a joy to so watch Gunner and Babypea enjoy dancing with each other. But really it's a joy to see them in any endeavor (no, I'm not talking alcoves!)
[Babypea von Phoenix (babypeavonphoenix.bikergrrl) raises willowy arms into graceful arc, then again whirls around. Stepping forward and reaching for him, she then billows back towards the ally. Hands curl, swimming up and down anxious flesh, heavy breasts seeming about to pop out of black lace prison. Lips part and she seems to gasp for a breath as smile fades. Lowering her voice, she whimpers, "Master please, this slut is in need of feeling rough hands grasping her ass as she is pounded beneath the heavy weight of a man."
Gunner von Phoenix (masterperry) grips a fist full of raven tresses. "And you think me so foolish that I would fall for your charms and follow you down a dark ally? How little you know of Gorean men. Are you new to the collar?" He then pushes her roughly to her knees. "Now girl, what is the truth? I need no dark ally to take my pleasure from you. I will take it here."]
In Conclusion
I will close by saying how moved I was by the dances. Thank you all for a well done event.
