After countless wars, the tiny nations of the valley found themselves exhausted but still in conflict. They needed a new way to air their grievances and express their rivalries. They held a peace conference and tried to find something new.
Someone proposed a legal system, but that was too boring. The delegates considered adopting a sport but couldn't agree on a game. During the tense closing gala, they stumbled upon the idea of a dance competition by accident.
Soon, the valley became legendary for its parties. But the outsiders who came to visit never understood the seriousness of the dance.
