A little bit of everything, this dance began as a nod to “Pedal Pushers” by Bob Dalsemer—I just love the Englishy feel of the B1 movement in the original. I wanted to invert the star promenade from the original and, ever since Will got me hooked on slide left + revolving door (“Trip to Petrick”, Will Mentor), I’ve been seeing them everywhere I look.
A nod to Andy Shore’s “Doorbits” for the final piece of the puzzle, the transition to the orbit has the best kind of flow.
Balance and swing because there’s a lot of clockwise movement for the ladles in this one and they deserve a break.
