David's Romance (2017/20)
This is a revised version of this dance, originally written in 2017. This dance is inspired by "Country Dance Romance" by David Smukler. Experienced dancers tend to take less than 8 beats for a mad robin, which might mean that they execute A2 a little ahead of schedule and get to the partner swing a little early and that's fine. At the end of the walk through I like to point out new neighbors for the mad robin the second time around.
