<p>Links</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>A quaint [[Ankh-Morpork|Morporkian]] folk-pathway consisting of an indeterminate number of people forming a long snaking line by holding the hips of the person in front, moving forwards in a direction determined by the person at the front of the line, and kicking out their legs alternately to the left and the right in time with the back-beat. <br /> <br /> [[Death]] participated in such a dance at a birthday party for an un-named [[Patrician]] in {{M}}. His neighbours in the line were [[Lord Rodley]] (in front) and the Patrican&#039;s small pet [[swamp dragon]] (behind), neither of whom was greatly happy with the experience.<br /> <br /> [[Category: Discworld culture]]<br /> <br /> <br /> ==Annotation==<br /> <br /> On Roundworld, Death is known to dance. There is the cultured gavotte (or perhaps a tarantelle) in the film version of Edgar Allen Poe&#039;s {{wp|Masque_of_the_Red_Death|Masque of the Red Death}}, where to make up the numbers and terrify the evil Prince Prospero (whose soul He has come to claim), Death re-animates the corpses of those who have died of the Red Death.<br /> <br /> There is also the fearful capering of the &#039;&#039;{{wp|Dance_of_Death|Danse Macabre}}&#039;&#039; in, for example, Saint-Saens&#039; &#039;&#039;Dance of Death&#039;&#039;([http://youtube.com/watch?v=C09DvWXeHxM&amp;feature=related]). There is a different dance of Death in the final movements of Berlioz&#039; {{wp|Symphonie_Fantastique|Symphonie Fantastique}}, which takes the form of a stately waltz[http://youtube.com/watch?v=RXFv5GZzbFY].<br /> <br /> It is entirely in keeping with Discworld that [[Death]] dances the [[Wikipedia:Conga|Conga]].</div>
