15	25	The dance receives its name from the fact that the girl's head is not supposed to rise above the Warrior's belt, but only purists concern themselves with such niceties; wherever the dance is performed, however, it is imperative that the girl never rise to her feet.
15	353	One thing that I thought was nice was that Elizabeth had asked Sura about the dance she had begun to perform but could not finish, when we had first come to the house of Cernus, the dance which is accompanied by the Tuchuk slave song.

9	373	"Do you recall," I asked pleasantly, looking down into her eyes, "how some days ago, on the rence island, on the night of the festival, in the firelight, when I was bound at the pole, you taunted me in your dance?" "Master?" she asked, her eyes timid.
9	377	"Do you know," I asked, "the Love dance of the Newly Collared Slave Girl?" "Port Kar's?" asked the leader of the musicians.

1	901	In my society it was women who called the tune, and the men who would have to dance.
22	359	"Surely you are not going to dance a naked slave in mixed company?" laughed the Lady Leta.
22	367	"To be sure," said the Lady Florence, "to dance a naked slave in mixed company seems scarcely to comport with the dignity of a refined house, but remember, too, I am a hostess, and we have men present, and we all know what beasts they are".
22	375	"Mistress," cried Melpomene, suddenly, in misery, "I do not know how to dance!" "What!" cried the Lady Florence, as though in astonishment.
22	383	The institution of female slavery on Gor is doubtless thousands of years old; accordingly it is natural that there should be great complexity and refinement in such a delicious art form as slave dance.
22	385	"I do not know how to dance, Mistress," whimpered Melpomene.
22	399	She strove to please and dance well.
22	400	I have little doubt but what the disposition to, and the fundamentals of, slave dance are instinctual in a woman.
22	401	No other explanation seems compatible with the readiness with which they can acquire such dance.
22	424	"Continue to dance here," said Tenalion, indicating a place before his small table.
22	428	After a time, he said, "You may now dance elsewhere".
22	445	"It is no dishonor for you, a slave, to dance before free persons.
22	450	"Now you shall dance," she said, "before a male slave!" "Oh, no, Mistress," begged Melpomene, "please, please do not so shame me!" The two women, the Lady Leta and the Lady Perimene, clapped their hands with pleasure.
22	527	"Now beg to dance for him," said the Lady Florence.
22	531	"I beg to dance for you, Master," she said.
22	571	"Has her dance pleased you, Jason?" asked the Lady Florence.
22	783	"Yes," said the Lady Perimene, regarding the collared slave, "you have reduced her to slavery, you have shamed and humiliated her, you have made her entertain your guests, you have made her dance for a stable slave, and then lie for him, and have now sold her".

1	323	"Did my dance interest Master?" she asked.
23	20	She was performing a need dance, of a type not uncommon among Gorean female slaves.
23	21	Such a dance usually proceeds in clearly defined phrases, evident not merely in the expressions and movements of the girl but in the nature of the accompanying music.
23	22	There are usually five phases to such a dance.
23	28	In the third phase of the dance she, in an almost ladylike fashion, acknowledges herself defeated in her attempt to conceal her sexuality; she then, again in an almost ladylike fashion, delicately but clearly, with restraint but unmistakably, acknowledges, and publicly, before masters,...
23	32	What if she is not sufficiently pleasing? What if she is not to be fulfilled? What if she must continue to dance, alone, unnoticed.
23	40	In this phase of the dance, then, shamelessly the woman dances her need and, shamelessly, begs for her sexual satisfaction.
23	41	This phase of the dance is sometimes known as the Heat of the Collared She-Sleen.
23	42	The fifth, and final phase, of the dance, is far more dramatic and exciting.
23	44	In this portion of the dance the girl is seldom on her feet.
23	46	The fourth phase of the dance, as I have mentioned, is sometimes known as the Heat of the Collared She-Sleen.
23	47	This portion of the dance, the fifth portion, is sometimes known as the Heat of the Slave Girl.
23	79	He had scarcely paid her attention in the dance.
23	161	A new dancer came forth upon the floor and began, a tall brute near her with the leather, to perform a whip dance.
23	168	In the whip dance, though there are various versions of it, depending on the locality, the girl is almost never struck with the whip, unless, of course, she does not perform well.
23	240	The whip dance continued before us.
23	283	The whip dance was now approaching its climax.
24	188	Did she not know she was from Earth? "I cannot dance," she said.
24	191	"They have not taught me to dance," she whimpered, "nor have I been permitted to learn the desire songs of heated slaves".

10	124	To the music of the musicians, near the iron door, they performed a most decorous dance, slowly and gracefully lifting their arms and turning, facing first one side and then the other.
10	126	The dance was the sort that free maidens of a city might perform to honor and welcome visiting dignitaries, or the ambassador and his entourage, of a foreign city.
11	131	The clothing worn by the girls ranged from the long, classic gowns worn by the girls from the walk, who had welcomed us with song, flowers and dance, on our entry into the holding, to the cruel, heavy scantiness of the close chains, and their brands and collars, of the girls brought up...
11	154	Children of many houses might be startled if they could see the transformation which takes place in their pretty Didi or Lale, whom they know as their nurse, governess and playmate, when she is, in their absence or after their bedtime, ordered to the chamber of one of the young masters, there to ...
20	48	This was not the type of party at which, say, the free women of the enemy, captives, stripped, not yet even given the dignity of the collar, clad only in their hair and beauty, are forced to wash and lick the feet of victors, to serve their viands and pour their drinks, to wait upon and clear tables...
20	49	Similarly it was not one of those parties in which a given number of slaves must dance within a circle of free men, of equal number, with whips, stripping themselves to the strokes of the whips and then dancing towards the men.
20	50	The man who does not accept the woman whips her back from him; similarly the woman who does not dance toward a man is whipped until she does.
20	51	It is common in this form of dance to make each woman, dancing to each man, go about the circle at least five times.
20	59	I doubted that Melpomene, whose slave heat had been ignited, could have managed to dance in such a refined fashion before men.
20	60	Even had she striven to do so I think that small expressions and subtle movements would have betrayed her, to the detriment of the type of dance which she was supposed to be performing.
20	62	I supposed that if, at some time in the future, their passions were to be ignited, then they, too, would be ruined for this particular type of dance.
20	67	Having seen her dance I had little doubt but what she would be being used as a dancer.
20	69	She might spend years in low taverns, or as a carnival dancer, or even as a street dancer, for provocation and use, on her leash, before her skills develop to a point at which she is good enough, as it is said, "to be permitted to dance before a Ubar".
20	268	"It is an interesting mode of dance," he said, plunging his spoon again into the custard, "one of which women are capable before men have taught them their collars".
20	856	"dance it," he said.
20	866	And then Peggy began to dance.
20	879	I savored the liqueur, and observed the dance of the slave.
20	884	I gathered that she had seldom seen the dance of a female slave.
20	887	There is no standardization, or little standardization, for better or for worse, in Gorean slave dance.
20	889	This is because each girl, in her own way, brings the nature of her own body, her own dispositions, her own sensuality and needs, her own personality, to the dance.
20	890	For the woman, slave dance is a uniquely personal and creative art form.
20	896	A familiar bit of advice given by bold Gorean physicians to free women who consult them about their frigidity is, to their scandal, "Learn slave dance".
20	913	Peggy now danced upon her knees, at the end of the table, using the table in the dance, thrusting her belly against it, and touching it with her hands, and her body and lips.
20	916	The Sa-eela, of course, is not the sort of dance which could be performed by a free woman.
20	930	But there is, of course, no one there, and, in the performance of the dance, that is clearly understood.
20	992	In this portion of the dance the girl calls attention to the various aspects of her beauty, from the swirling sheen of her cascading hair to her ankles, from her small feet to her tiny, fine fingers.
20	1007	Perhaps, in their turn, too, they will be taught to dance.
20	1017	She then clutched my arm, even more tightly, and then, she kneeling beside me, small and naked, helpless and vulnerable, her throat locked in the steel of my collar, on the tiles, we watched the dance of the female slave.

2	426	"After the hunt," said Cuwignaka, "the great dance will be held".
2	434	"This year," Cuwignaka, "I am going to dance.
2	436	"The pole," I said, "is used in this dance?" "Of course," said Cuwignaka.
2	445	"The medicine chief of the dance," said Cuwignaka.
2	457	"Who, then, must begin its preparation for the great manhood dance?" asked Cuwignaka.
3	71	Cancega, then, began a slow, shuffling dance.
3	73	The focal point of this dance, which wove back and forth, in a fanlike motion, before it, was a high, white-barked tree.
3	80	"It is tall and straight!" shouted the two seconds, in the dance, and most of the others, as well, including my friend, Cuwignaka.
3	120	This was to allow for the pole later being set in the earth, within the enclosure of the dance, set among its supporting stakes, to a depth of some seven or eight feet.
3	222	Was this not suitable? Was this not appropriate for her, a slave? Winyela, kissing the pole, and caressing it, and moving about it, and rubbing her body against it, under the directions of Cancega, and guided sometimes by the tethers on her neck, continued to dance.
3	234	This was evinced in her dance.
3	237	She began, then, helplessly, to dance her servitude, her submission, her slavery.
3	238	The dance, then, came helplessly from the depths of her.
3	243	There her dance, on her knees, her belly and back, squirming and clutching, continued.
3	250	He watched Winyela dance.
3	267	A woman's acquisition of the skills of erotic dance, incidentally, like those of a child's linguistic skills, follows an unusually sharp learning curve.
3	268	This suggests that the rudiments of such dance, or the readiness for it, like the capacity, at least, for the rapid and efficient acquisition of language, is genetically coded.
3	275	"Yes!" I well understood, now, why free women could not be permitted to see such a dance.
3	276	It was the dance of a slave.
3	281	But then how could any free woman compete with a slave, one who is truly mastered and owned? I watched Winyela dance.
3	288	I, myself, saw the symbolism of the dance, and, I think, so, too, did Winyela, in a pattern far deeper than that of an ethnocentric idiosyncrasy.
3	290	In the dance, as I chose to understand it, Winyela danced the glory of life and the natural order; in it she danced her submission to the might of men and the fulfillment of her own femaleness; in it she danced her desire to be owned, to feel p...
3	296	But already Winyela, of her own accord, breathing deeply from the exertions of her dance, and trembling, had put her head to the dirt, humbly, before the pole.
3	310	Later, when the pole was set in the enclosure of the dance, the thongs would be unwrapped and the two objects would hang beside the pole.
3	315	I was reminded by these things of the medicine of the pole, and of the great forthcoming dance, projected to take place about it.
3	316	The medicine of the pole and dance had intimately to do, obviously, with such things as hunting, fertility and manhood.
3	337	"In your dance," said Canka, "you were not ashamed".
7	647	More than one war party, it is recorded, penetrating deeply into enemy territory, and seeing the high brush walls of a dance lodge, and discovering that it was the enemy's festival time, has politely withdrawn.

9	189	But tonight she would dance naked for guardsmen.
9	191	"You do not seem distressed that tonight you will dance," I observed.
9	208	"It does not seem that the whip dance, truly, would be much of a punishment for you," I said.
9	221	Too, I know you would not be so cruel as to assign a girl to the whip dance.
9	222	Too, the common punishment for such a clumsiness is not the uncompromising, degrading severity of the whip dance but disciplines more prosaic in their nature, such as a restriction or change in rations, close chains or, most often, a switching or whipping".
9	230	"I dance well," she had told me.
9	236	I wondered if I, too, could dance well.

26	416	In few modalities is a woman's slavery made clearer or more manifest than when she must perform floor movements, than when she must, in effect, dance before men, never rising higher than her knees.
26	418	Almost as soon as I had begun to dance I saw Emily tear back her slave silk, exposing her breasts to Aemilianus, and try to kiss him.
28	41	Few free women, I suspect, would dare to dance the dances of Gor before strong men.
28	42	If they did so, how long could they expect to remain free? Any woman who dares to appear so before men, and dance, it is said, is in her heart a slave.

1	661	Doubtless, too, as the evening wore on, other girls, too, perhaps Tula, and Susan, and Linda, would be ordered to the floor, to dance before strong men, then perhaps, each in her turn, one by one, to be dragged to the tables.
1	753	She lowered herself to the floor and there, on her knees, and her sides, and her belly and back, continued her dance.
1	755	Floor movements are among the most stimulatory aspects of slave dance.
1	759	A connoisseur of slave dance, I suppose, might have pointed out errors in the pointing of a toe, the extension of a limb, the use of a hand, not well framing the body, not subtly inviting the viewer's eye inward, and so on, but, on the whole, she was definitely not bad.

11	201	To be sure, both terms are in a sense reductive misnomers, for in this form of dance, as in other forms of dance, the dancer dances with her entire body and beauty.
11	205	On Gor, dance of the sort in which I was expected to perform, is called, simply, "slave dance".
11	215	"Slave dance," on Gor, incidentally, is a very rich and varied dance form.
11	827	There is a sense in which it is a kind of dance, rather than a particular dance, which is deemed appropriate for virgins.
11	832	The third sense of the term is that of a specific dance, or type of dance, most often, interestingly, not even danced by a virgin, but usually by an experienced slave.
11	834	The dance I was expected to perform was, I suppose, a "virgin dance" in both the second and third senses of the term.
11	964	I do not know, really, whether I had done this to myself in the dance, which is possible, or if my arousal had merely come upon me in the course of the dance, but I was aroused.

13	1033	On Earth I had even been reluctant even to describe the liberating sort of dance I loved so much by such an expression as 'belly dance'.
24	375	How paradoxical I thought, that she who is branded, and collared, and owned, and is nothing, should have such power! "dance, slut, dance!" said a man.
31	191	Too, to my pleasure, I gathered that he himself was not disinterested in seeing me dance, and that I was to dance as what I was, a slave.
31	193	"dance, dance, Tuka," urged Tupita.
31	219	Sometimes, too, I tried to dance before the stranger, but his eyes would inform me that it was before Mirus that I was to dance slave beauty.
1	154	I wept then, again, wondering if perhaps I had not been born elsewhere, perhaps time and time again, in other times, if I had not lived in Egypt or Sumer, or Chaldea, in rocky Hellas, or verdant Sybaris or bustling Miletus, if I had not been kept in the great palace in Persepolis, if I might not hav...

1	870	I tended to agree with the fellow about the instinctuality of erotic dance in a female.
1	874	The woman who can move well, who can dance well, so to speak, and please men in many ways, is more likely to be spared, and bred.
1	879	What woman has not considered to herself what it might be like to dance naked before some man or another, one before whom she knows she could be naught but his slave? "Beautiful!" said a man.
1	1122	It is appropriate for a slave to express her slavery in slave dance, of course.
3	116	I did not think he would have found it easy to do so, however, as her slave value, which was considerable, had been publicly manifested in the paga enclosure, in the parade of slaves, and in the utterly liberated licentiousness of her slave dance.
