<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_extra">Hi, Bill,</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">I'm pretty sure Cary Ravitz first developed the figure we call "gypsy star." I know three of his dances which use the figure. "Woven Waves" and "Gypsy Star" were both written in May 1999. "Gypsy Waves" was written in 2013.</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">I haven't seen it in many other dances. Ryan Smith and I helped Stacey Lang write a dance with the figure called "The Fault in Our Stars."

<p>Dugan and all, I don't know if Cary Ravitz actually "invented" the Gypsy Star but he wrote a dance entitled that and a lot of others that include it. Dugan, you're sort of Cary's protégé, right?, so you must know the dance. This is the same figure, correct??</p>
