Written while Ode to Joy was stuck in my head, thinking about a dance that would fit that tune and also bring me joy.
Debut: Queer Contra Camp 2026

(This dance is coincidentally very similar to Issac Banner's "Tom's Queue-less Carousel," which is itself a variation of "The Carousel" by Tom Hinds.)
