Jabberwocky, as in:
’Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
      Did gyre and gimble in the wabe

I'm not sure dancers will appreciate being called "slithy toves," though we
have been looking for new terms to use to describe dancers in different
positions. Perhaps the other position could be "mome raths" as in:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
      And the mome raths outgrabe.

Raths and toves?
