This dance needs plenty of space (for the A2-B1 transition) and works best with a faster tune. The phrasing of A2-B1 is not strong: the figure flows across the tune transition.
Dedicated to Meg Sessions, the most recent addition to the Decorah, Iowa dance, music, and organic vegetable farming scene. Father, Eric Sessions is also a pretty fine fiddler.
