Special Note:
8 days before this dance was premiered at the Marshfield Workshop, our house was hit by a tornado
(and only 2 weeks prior to that, Mary had surgery). We are okay, but had to totally vacate, pack and
move all of our belongings and get ready for a workshop. In the aftermath, we still found the time and
were inspired to choreograph this dance. We dedicate this dance to all of our wonderful dancing
friends who helped us through this tough time.
