I wanted to have a dance where dancers did the dolphin hey figure with a
neighbor rather than with a partner so that knowledge could be transferred from
one person to another. I wrote this dance with that purpose. This dance borrows
much from Seth Tepfer’s “Dolphin Yay!” dance and Andrea Nettleton’s
“Porpoiseful Play”. Much thanks to both of these choreographers for their great
dances.
Please take a look at this dance and let me know if you know it to be already
written in this way. The slice in the beginning can be changed into a double
slice (left diagonal forward to new neighbors, left diagonal back to next new
neighbors) to make it a double progression, giving more dancers a chance to be
the dolphin couple. I called this in Santa Barbara, CA, on 9/30, with the
double slice. The dancers gave the dance a thumbs up. Click on these words for
a video link. <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KoYYc4mKzrE>
