The Wanderer
More to come
Teaching a college class has it's rewards. The following dance was an assignment
for the Square Dance/Folk Dance class at Metro State in Denver, Colorado.
I furnished the core idea and it was up to the students to construct the
rest of the dance and match the movements to the mood of the music.
