Having watched this happen repeatedly . . . Master Dancers are slipping/falling way to much to be believable. I'm married to Beledai dance instructor in the real world, and I can count her slips over a six month period on one hand and have a finger or two left over. But Master Dancers are slipping/falling repeatedly during the course of a single dance. Seems to defeat the whole concept of Master, now doesn't it. Professional dancers have a very developed sense of body control, and practice a concept called "isolation," which is the movement of a skelatal segment independant of the adjacent elements. That's why they can go to the floor without moving other body parts, displace sideways without moving the hips, etc. Please, get a more realistic failure percentage for high level dancers. It seriously spoils the illusion.
