[Ansteorra] Middle Eastern Dance Championship Clarification

[Vickie Bratcher]

I have been asked some questions about the improv portion of the
competition so I decided I would clarify what I am looking for in this area
of the competition.


Because this is supposed to simulate the situation of the Crown calling on
their champion to perform for them, I am looking for the entertainment
factor.  How does the dancer work with the musicians, interacting with
them,  giving them directions for tempo changes when needed and reacting to
things that the musician may do.  I also want to see the dancers interact
with the audience.  This is about being an entertainer.


The Dancers will be able to give the house band directions for the rhythm
they want to have played just as they would to the musicians present when
the Crown asked them to perform.
