The Founding of the Free Women’s Dance Circle

In the halls and courts of Gor, dance is most often associated with the trained movements of kajirae. Their art is well known and widely admired. Yet within the chronicles of Gor, there exist quieter passages, references to maidens dancing among themselves, ceremonial dances performed by women of high caste, and decorous movements undertaken in settings appropriate to Free Women.

These scattered references, though seldom discussed, reveal that dance among Free Women is not absent from Gorean culture. From the exploration of these passages has arisen a new cultural initiative within the Gorean world of Second Life: The Free Women’s Dance Circle.

The Dance Circle emerged through the meeting of three women of different castes and regions of Gor, each bringing a distinct influence to its creation.

Odette Atheria, a Scribe of Ar’s Station, had long taken scholarly interest in the subject. While studying the chronicles and histories of Gor, she noted the occasional mentions of Free Women dancing, often in contexts of ceremony, maidenhood, or private gatherings. What began as simple research gradually became curiosity about what such expressions of movement might mean for Free Women.

The spark that brought this curiosity to life came through the work of BilliAnn Bravin-Ireman, a Skald and storyteller of Torvaldsland. BilliAnn presented a series of lectures about Free Women’s dance, examining passages in the Gorean chronicles and discussing what they suggest about how dance might relate to Free Women, their dignity, and their place in society.

For Odette, the lectures proved compelling. Hearing the subject explored aloud and in depth transformed quiet research into inspiration.

Soon after, she shared the idea with Luella, an Entertainer and Director known for her choreography and elaborate sets for the Sereem Kajiri Dancers of Isfahan. Luella immediately recognized the creative possibilities in exploring dance forms suitable for Free Women. Her enthusiasm and artistic vision helped transform an idea into a living project.

From the meeting of Scribe, Skald, and Entertainer, the concept of the Free Women’s Dance Circle took shape.

The Dance Circle has been founded as a gathering place for Free Women throughout Gor who wish to explore dance as a cultural and artistic expression chosen freely, distinct from the trained performances of kajirae. Its purpose is not to imitate the arts of slaves, but rather to examine and celebrate those forms of graceful movement that may be appropriate to Free Women, such as festival dances, maidens’ dances, ceremonial movements, and other expressions of joy, beauty, and culture.

The aims of the Free Women’s Dance Circle include:

    Exploring references to Free Women’s dance within the chronicles of Gor

    

    Providing a welcoming gathering place for Free Women interested in graceful movement

    

    Encouraging cultural exchange and fellowship among women of many cities and castes

    

    Developing dances suitable for festivals, celebrations, and other appropriate occasions

The Dance Circle is Gor-wide in spirit, welcoming Free Women of all cities, regions, and castes who share an interest in learning, culture, and artistic expression.

True to its name, the group is not intended as a troupe nor as a stage for rivalry, but rather as a circle: a place of gathering, discussion, and shared exploration.

Participation, however, is reserved exclusively for Free Women. In keeping with the purpose of the Circle as a place for women to gather among themselves, men, panthers, talunas, and slaves are not admitted to its meetings or membership.

What began as the careful study of a Scribe, the teachings of a Skald, and the enthusiasm of an Entertainer now opens its doors to Free Women across Gor who may wish to step, with dignity and grace, into this rarely explored corner of Gorean culture.

 EN-KARA 2026

A BRIEF CONSIDERATION

What can I say? Everything is beautiful, maybe even too beautiful, 

I made sure to get to the fair in advance to book a stand for my oasis of the 7 palms, and for my newspaper gazetta delle lune, but already many days before there were no more opportunities, everything had been booked, or at least so it seemed, after various vicissitudes finally the beautiful and good Paradox helped me find a small stall on the edge of the null, where no one ever passed by, my stand was next to that of Lady Ornella who was also rather disappointed by the fact that no one passed by, the tents and the fields and the castes were far away, very far away.

    I wrote 6 short articles and published many photos of the fair and the exhibiting cities, except for Lady Sabayna no one thanked me anymore, and yet I had about 1500 visitors to the blog, but I'm happy about this anyway.

 I tried to visit the fair on its many platforms, dedicated to villages or cities. I don't know how the reservations were regulated, but the long delays sometimes forced me to change sites. I don't think it was my only problem.

Another thing I saw and that struck me was the Marke platform, very popular, focused on the sale of clothing and other things,

 Then it ended. Many have conflicting opinions, but this is due to each person's role in the fair. Some are enthusiastic, others less so. I gave my opinion in the group chat. I hope they take my suggestions into account, but it doesn't matter. 

A big thank you to those who visited my blog. I'm happy to have done something beautiful, according to many, even if none of the organizers even greeted me. See you next year.

ON THE ROADS OF THE EN-KARA FAIR 2026

6 parts

ALLIANCE OF VALKYRIE PANTHER

As I walked through the various areas of the fair, at a certain point I realized I was lost. I told myself, the fair is very big, and that's normal, but the further I went, the more the area became overgrown with trees, until it formed a real jungle.

Many years ago, when I lived in the Shendi region, I happened to skirt the Jungle to reach Cartassa or AR, so I knew well the dangers that can be encountered, including the wilds of the Talunes or the Panthere, but this time there was a portal where the name Valkyrie was engraved on the stone. During my long life in Gor, I don't remember ever having heard of this tribe, surely they are a people imported from Planet Earth, who have made the Jungle their territory.

    I know the dangers well, so I wander cautiously among those bushes, avoiding being discovered by an armed guard standing on a rock,

I explore their village, taking advantage of the tribe's absence, surely to visit some other exhibitor at the fair.

   After making some sketches of the most interesting places I returned to my post, I'm happy to have found something new and I'm putting the sketches (photos) below, I hope you'll enjoy looking at them.

thank you all

ON THE WAY TO THE FAIR - EN KARA 2026 -

5th part

Walking among the tents of the Fair

I continue my tour through the fields that host the tents of the cities and some organizations. Today I met the dance floor of TOR-TU-RADIO-GOR RADIO

and other cities like Venna, or the city of Lara, with its college, then I saw the tent of Northern lights, a city where I lived, the great exhibition of the museum of KO-RO-BA,

the tent of the '' MEDICAL SAHARA ACADEMY'', there is also the tent of the fortune teller '' Fortune told'', the Tea Room Trader, further on the '' House Leidolf'', and still the Isle of Thera, and the great city of '' olni'', I thank those who appreciate my work and I hope they will continue to do so, see you in the next article.
