Neither. "懐深く" here is not that idiom "懐が深い".
懐 here means just "bosom", or "heart".
And 深い here means just "deep". The く conjugation here is for connecting to the particle "で" or "に", which means "in" "at" or whatever it is, "location".

月の"懐深く"、真紅のドレスが妖艶に踊った。 The red dress bewitchingly danced "deep in the heart of" the moon.
懐深く = 懐の深くで = 懐の、深い場所で ≒ 真ん中で = in the [very] center

Like the meaning 2〈物の間に囲まれた所〉, you can say "懐" to mean a "center" of an inanimate object. http://ejje.weblio.jp/content/%E6%87%90
This is a pretty poetic expression, so you cannot use 懐 this way with everything.
But 山の懐 is a familiar expression and it is often accompanied with 深く. And 森の懐, 月の懐 are also understandable.
