Notes Love and hugs to: Jo Thompson Szymanski for helping me work out four especially tricky counts while she was on the road teaching at an event, Megan Barsuglia for helping me with eight other counts in a parking lot a few minutes before we started our lessons, and Liya Levanda for helping me work out kinks and record an early draft.
This dance belongs in part to each of you -- thank you!
