‘Active Pass “is a narrow passage of water Connecting the Sue: Georgia to the more protected waters of the southern Gulf Islands which are located off Vancouver Island, BC. It is active due to the number of vessels using the pass and very active with eddies and strong currents. The water swirls around and changes direction, much like the activity of the dancers.

The dance is a revised and improved version of an earlier dance, “The Lobster Quadrille”
