All Hands on Deck (2015)

A2 of this dance is a variation on the A2 from "Fast Hands" by Diane Silver. B2 is derived from "A Pirate's Life for Me" by Nathaniel Jack. Also see my dance "Hold Fast." The timing in A2 is tight, so I often tell dancers that there is no shame in skipping the balance at the top of B1 if they're late finding their partner.
