Flying Wind in the Trees (2016)

This dance was written in honor of John Amneus, whose partner, Anita Gale, sponsored a dance for him as part of the December 2016 fundraiser for Portland Intown Contra Dance. As I wrote the first "...Wind in the Trees" dance, two more came out to make them a suite of three dances. The other two in the suite are "Wind in the Trees" and "Walking Wind in the Trees".
