The Third Framework
The Brush
This dance has two required props, a bucket and a large bristled brush used for scrubbing floors. The dance is performed in the nude. The middle section is mostly freeform, but has some specific requirements. It may not occupy more than two thirds of the total dance paragraphs. It is required that you identify a Master present in the audience and dance to that Master. They may not be a judge or a girl's own Master. References to the hall you and your audience are in are required. The freeform should be seductive and sexual but not explicit. You may not touch a Master during the dance.
