introduces moves: revolving door, down the hall, up the hall, roll away, give & take

Andrea Nettleton told me she wished callers would do more down the halls, but all the options in my box were pretty basic and I wanted something that used it as less of an "away we go" and more of a buildup.

A dance re-imagining of A Midsummer Night's Dream, written for Rosalie Banner on her 20th birthday. "Give me your hands [four], may we be friends, and Robin shall restore amends."

When teaching this one I make a point of identifying who is chasing whom in the box circulate, otherwise dancers will often find themselves a bit lost when they circulate away from their partner.

While the A section is pretty variable and the B section, with its iconic swaps across the ring, is what identifies any "Lanny's" dance, I believe this is the original version of the dance. At the very least, it's the version I last heard Erik call.
