Are dances in detail like this normal?

It even has a detail for the music a few lines down. Are all dances so elaborately generated?

The best way to demonstrate it to him is take a save of 40 year old fortress with 150 dwarves in it on a good sized embark with a volcano that just breached the circus and install it on his gaming rig and watch it bring his rig to its knees.

I wonder if you can force dwarfs to fall in love through dancing.  :P This dance sounds about right for the purpose.

They vary quite a bit in their complexity.  That one is particularly elaborate, though.  6-10 descriptive lines seems to be more normal in my experience.

I guess generated dances are like artifact engravings in that way.

So if I'm reading this right a significant part of this dance is the dwarves getting into two circular chorus lines while glaring furiously and sieg heiling.
