 **Dance Theatre ("Vortice")**\\  **Dance Theatre ("Vortice")**\\ 
 Vortice differs from the "high" dance theatres in one major way: it is entirely ad-lib. Due to this, it is often much more chaotic and difficult to follow than the dazzling, but exhaustively patterned Grazia, or the precise, slow-moving Distante. Performers wear heavy makeup and sparkly clothing, making the chaotic dance almost seizure-inducing to watch. Vortice dancers spend countless years in practice before they ever attempt performance, the consequences of slight missteps often being catastrophic medical bills, and not even the most disdainful of Patricians deny that Vortice produces very talented dancers. However, the lack of a musical or storytelling aspect in the art has prevented it from gaining any sway among Patricians, who would otherwise likely find it wonderful and involving. Plebians and Caelisolans, often simply seeking a pretty sight to round out a difficult time in work, flock to Vortice more than any other style of theatre. Vortice differs from the "high" dance theatres in one major way: it is entirely ad-lib.
