Julian Bee notes that swapping the promenade for a R+L Thru is Linda Leslie's "Old Time Elixir #2", written in 1998. It's unclear when Dean wrote TTT, so both deserve a cross-reference. https://contradb.com/dances/474

Blatantly stolen from David Kaynor's The Baby Rose shifting the figures one step (A2, B1, B2, A1). Have not checked to see if this had been done before but really needed a dance called The Baby Yoda or "The Child" from Star Wars' series The Mandalorian. Transcribed on April 5, 2020, during the COVID-19 quarantine and I was determined to do create a dance called The Baby Yoda before the quarantine was lifted so I am considering this an emergency.
