Music: Flights of Fancy by Shira Kammen, 2011

Teaching Points:
In A bars 9-12, it's as if the 1s are doing a mirror back to back with neighbors, except that the 2s are doing something else.
In B bar 5, it is important that the 1s take the time to meet before leading down.

Ashland, Oregon dancers **Marge Maddux** and **Peter Kreisman** often attend our dance testing events. They won a tune/dance at the BACDS English week auction. They are also avid birders.
