This dance shows the meaning of a girls name (ps, the girl has english as her second language):
igada{BT^T}sg smiles tenderly as she places her bare foot on the floor, and presses herself up to stand, she slides with sensual steps over the tiles to the sandpit
igada{BT^T}sg slowly kneels in the pit, her knees pressed to her chest, curling up like a ball, slender arms folded underneath her, becoming very small, symbolising a tiny seed that has to grow
igada{BT^T}sg moves her arms gently, waving them over the sand, her hands digging in the sand like roots finding their way in the solid ground, moving her arms back and fort, till her hands slowly disappear in the sand, finding the place for the seed to start growing
igada{BT^T}sg listens as the horn blows a soft monotonous sound, like the wind blowing over the fields and mountains, a merrily bell sound joins in, symbolising the sun shining brightly to feed the seed with it's warmth
igada{BT^T}sg rolls her back a little, the flower starts to grow, she liftst her head, the flower head appears, the horn blows louder and makes her move from left to right like a flower stalk in the wind.
igada{BT^T}sg feels soft ticking on her leaves, drumming sound joins in to symbolize the rain, making the four elements complete for the flower to grow, earth, wind, sun and water.
igada{BT^T}sg tilts her luscious behind from her heels, the flower stalk growing towards the sun, the drum faints the bells sing louder and happily, she circles her upper body gracefully on the rhythm of the bells reaching for the sunbeams
igada{BT^T}sg rises on her feet, the flower grows to it's full length, her feet firmly in the sand, grabbing and curling her toes to hold on as strong roots, the horn still blowing, swaying her head from left to right, her arms up and down as leaves dancing on the wind
igada{BT^T}sg feels the pulling as she sways wilder and faster, the horn blows louder, a storm appears, feeling how the seeds are taken from her flower by the wind, moving arms up and down trying to protect herself against the wind
igada{BT^T}sg digs her feet deeper in the sand, trying to hold on, feeling the wind pull harder, pulling the roots loose from the sand, tear her away from the solid ground she grew on....
igada{BT^T}sg twirls trough the pit, like the flower which is carried by the wind floats trough the air, taking it miles and miles, she clings to the pole, like a branch keeping the flower from moving further
igada{BT^T}sg last flower seeds are released and the girl sinks on her knees, as the flower drops from the branch on the ground, the little flower has done it's work and lays on the floor
igada{BT^T}sg lifts her head up once more, light blue eyes sparkling brightly, a soft smile appears on her ruby lips, knowing that somewhere another little seed will grow and develop, and become a beautiful flower, like she: igada, the one who blossoms.
