Spiral Dance: Chris & Sergey by Richard Rothstein


'Energy moves in cycles, circles, spirals, vortexes, whirls, pulsations, waves, and rhythms—rarely if ever in simple straight lines.'
Starhawk


With our without her crown, Sergey remains a Goddess. With our without his wings, Chris still flys. One of things I loved so much about Richard Rothstein putting the two dancers together, was how they moved so seamlessly as one. There is an erotic charge when Sergey and Chris are together and despite how energized their movements are, they always remain connected, moving together, skin never losing contact with skin.





There is a rich history and tradition of group dance practiced within the Neopaganism religion. Whether it be two people, four, or many more, the dancers lever lose touch, strengthening both their power, and their ability to fight off evil. Together, connected, they are stronger. This type of dance is called spiral dance, and sometimes also called the weaver's or grapevine dance. The dance is designed to celebrate community and rebirth, and also to raise the power during the ritual.


The spiral dance usually begins with drums and chants and each member involved, hold hands and move in counter-clockwise motion using a grapevine step. As they continue along this formation, every dancer eventually comes face to face with each of the other dancers in the formation. When there's more than two dancers, the bond is strengthened and the dance more intricate, when only two dancers are involved, it becomes more sensual and intimate.


'In some close-knit spiral dances, when all members are comfortable with the idea, a kiss is given to each person at the moment they pass each other in the dance.'


With Sergey and Chris, the dance, then a kiss served as a catalyst for the Goddess' euphoric final dance of release.  See more of the dance on Richard Rothstein's OnlyFans page HERE:
