Note: This dance was devised for Peter Radcliff to celebrate his 75th birthday, April 29, 2007. Dotty Ueber, Peter’s friend and companion, requested a dance to also celebrate Peter’s love of birdwatching. The fIrst half of the dance suggests the courtship displays of certain raptors, hence the name. Bars 1–8 are from The Breakdown by John Mitchell.-TW
