Dance of the Twi'lek Slave Girl

The Dance of the Twi'lek Slave Girl was a traditional mating custom performed by female Twi'leks of Ryloth. An infamously exotic and sensual dance, it became fetishized in the wider galaxy, and was performed by Twi'leks and other species alike as an act of submission to a master.

Description
To perform this sensual dance, the performer began by twisting her hips, rolling them back and forth in a manner that appeared deceptively easy, but also seemed to defy standard realspace geometry. Some performers wore slave girl outfits during the dance, including exotic lashaa silks and golden slave bracelets.

History
Prior to Ryloth's contact with the outside galaxy, the native Twi'leks performed the Dance of the Twi'lek Slave Girl as one of their ceremonial clan mating customs. It was considered one of the species' most sacred, and most erotic, dances. After the planet made contact with the wider galactic community during the early stages of the Old Republic, Twi'lek females became fetishized commodities for males, and central sacred aspects of Twi'lek culture, such as the Dance, were exported and reduced to race-play pantomimes performed as acts of submission towards dominant slavers and masters.

Dryden Vos, head of Crimson Dawn, hired the Twi'leks Boshti Anilee and Hado Gwin of the prestigious Dette Lawnic Dance Academy on Alderaan to perform a sapphic variety of the Dance of the Twi'lek Slave Girl for him.

The Twi'lek Oola became adept at the dance while studying at the Ryloth Dance Academy, and caught the eye of Bib Fortuna. Lyn Me perfected the dance alongside la-ley dancers while studying on Ryloth, and later used her skills as one of Jabba Desilijic Tiure's exotic dancers.

During her attendance at the prestigious Alderaan Select Academy for Young Ladies, Princess Leia Organa was believed to have performed the sensual Dance of the Twi'lek Slave Girl, to the astonishment of her tutors and adoptive parents. Evaan Verlaine would later inform Chewbacca of these rumors, and the Wookiee would enjoy imagining Leia twirling and gyrating in lashaa silks and golden slave bracelets.

During the era of the First Order, the Twi'lek buccaneer Reveth performed the Dance for her lover, the former clone trooper Kix, in their cabin aboard the Meson Martinet, following the Hosnian Catalysm. Having dressed up in a Hutt slave girl outfit picked up on Tatooine, Reveth gyrated to show off her curves, and proceeded to include the Kiffar Lensa Vos in their slave-play.

Behind the scenes
The Dance of the Twi'lek Slave Girl first appeared in "", a story in the ambiguously-canon Legends anthology . It has since been referenced in Legends erotica, and was introduced in erotica canon with a brief appearance in Das Flute's 2016 story, "A Clone of His Own".
