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.

The progression happens between B1 and B2. This dance was created at the Louisville Caller's meeting on 3-1-2020. We played around with different starting points. Beginning the dance with the circle left also feels really nice.
