Alexander Avery's Articulate Anime Adventure (2017)

This dance was written for Alexander Avery Gale of Cincinnati, Ohio.  His mother, Anita Gale, sponsored a dance for him as part of the December 2016 fundraiser for Portland Intown Contra Dance.  She requested "one of those dances that makes the engineers in the community chuckle."  Before the walk through, dancers can identify their shadow by looking past their partner up and down the hall.
