Orominuialwen, I'm delighted that the thesis discussion interests you-- please, if you have questions, ask them!

Dance... don't all elves? Oh, yeah, I'm a hobbit. Well, they dance too.

Oh, my, yes, although I haven't had many opportunities in quite a while; but in my younger days... Scottish Country (as in RSCDS) and Highland; and some dabbling in Irish Step, English Country (love those elegant running waltzes) and Contra. Oh, and Irish House polkas are fun too...

Nuru and I were trying to write a Springle Ring (composed of Scottish and Irish steps) but the thread got closed. * pout! sulk!* [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

I love the section in The Hobbit where it describe the elves in Rivendell dancing on Midsummer's eve by the river's edge.

I had invented a few elvish dances at one point; now what did I do with them? One copy of them can be found in The Seventh Star, in Aman's congratulatory party.

My high school yearbook quote (Twenty-five years ago!) was:

"Tinuviel was dancing there
To music of a pipe unseen
And light of stars was in her hair
and (in her) raiment glimmering."
