Here's a new dance I wrote and premiered at our local dance a few weeks ago, to very positive reviews. I'm proud of the dance overall, but particularly with title. If anyone is aware of another dance using this title, please indicate that. It's worth noting
that partner contact is a bit limited in this dance, but it feels like a worthwhile trade off given the nice flow of the dance and the long partner swing at the end.
Feedback welcome. (Video attached)
