APPENDIX D: Dances

Imman - Immans, as danced rarely on Vulcan, are very complex dance where the dancers hold their elbows to their sides and their forearms and hands perpendicular to their waists, fingertips touching. The taller partner leads. The lead's fingertips point downward touching the following partners upward pointing fingers. This is the only contact point. The dance is a series of intricate steps and kicks between and around each others legs while the lead guides the couple in a figure eight. Misstep or inattention often resulted in serious bruising. Its mastery was a cultural and scholastic requirement for all Vulcan teenagers, owed to its being an ancient court dance, preserved these many centuries.

Shakaar - Similar to the steps of the Imman. The hands and body are positioned differently. The lead, the taller of the pair, twists the smaller partner's hands up behind the small of their back, thus pressing the dancer's pelvic regions tightly together. It is very important for the smaller partner to look up at the lead with a properly submissive expression. Modern Klingon in origin, occasionally banned now and then for brief periods as subversive and licentious, very popular in and beyond the Empire.

Gjrigas - ancient pre-civilization Vulcan mating dance.
