Hulamzarba

The Hulamzarba is a kind of dance that combines traditional sweeping dance moves with more localized muscle movements that make the dancer appear to be shaking from cold or fright. The more respectable high art form of Hulamzarba often takes the form of mini-plays featuing the lead dancer fleeing monsters or pursuers, often on a stage with winter-themed decorations. The more common form of the dance, on display at performances commonly known as "shiver shows" tends to dispense with such narratives in favor of a more salacious conclusion. In these shows, all the twitching and shivering leads to the dancer undulating their way out of their clothing, preferably in a way that make the clothes appear to fall away with no effort or intent on the part of the dancer. This frequently has more to do with loose-fitting clothing designed to fall away easily than with the skill of the dancer, but the most accomplish performers often wearing tighter and more firmly-secured costumes as a way of displaying their skill. It is commonly claimed that the Khephale's harem includes dancers who can wiggle their way out of a suit of plate mail without ever loosening a strap or untying a lace.
The Hulamzarba appears to have orginated in Khezvaros 500-600 years ago. The use of the dance in some rites and ceremonies honoring Kreeshka has led to the common belief that the dance was introduced by the Mastress of Debauchery in its more lascivious form, with the more respectable form developed later.
