Thank you! At first I wanted to use Fos by Amanati, but the one bit of sword dancing I did do was done to Goddess by Amanati so it seemed a bit cowardly to use music that was almost exactly the same. I considered using Folk music instead, but Western music rhythm isn't quite right. I hit this one more or less by accident, but it's very pretty and at least it belongs to the right culture.
G I've had lessons in how to move my hips/shoulders/stomach etc, but not in how to choreograph a four minute long dance that doesn't even have a chorus, in a dance style that doesn't have figures, and it's all solo. I've written a couple of morris dances, but this is a lot more nebulous.
Sword dance does seem like it would be hard to write though, without getting into a tangle.
Thank goodness for YouTube! I've been watching so many videos!
