The riot at the premiere of the Rite of Spring was more due to the dancing than the music. Najinksy's choreography was completely unexpected and untraditional. Dancers legs and feet are turned inwards, their fists clenched, their heads held down between hunched shoulders and their postures and movements are uncouth and clumsy. In addition, the costumes were brightly colored and bulky.
