I really like Mad Robins, just in case that isn’t obvious. I was wondering what else could be done with them, whether they could be used as a progression, facing direction changed, etc. This dance came out of some of that thinking.
First called at David Kaynor’s Friday Night Dance at the Greenfield, MA Grange on 11/14/2016.
