Keep it Simple (2017)

This dance was inspired by Ron Blechner’s exploration into choreography including larks chaining across by the right hand.  The dance ended up looking a lot like "Simplicity Swing" by Becky Hill.  At the start of the dance, shadow is on left diagonal.  I find it helpful at the end of the walk through to point out the new larks for the second time around.
