‘This dance was written in 2017 after Spring Fling and Spring School (in Kazan) when, sadly, I had to go back to the working routine. At work I ached with the feeling of sudden “stop”: why am I not hurrying anywhere, not dancing? My wish to keep going at last turned into this dance, where the main idea is – “Go ahead, do not stop!”
The combination of RHA and LHA in the dance came to me when I thought of Bennett Mechanical Comprehension Test – for me the process of learning or devising new dance looks rather similar to working on that test.’
No tune is recommended but the video uses the recording The Black Dance by Bobby Brown and The Scottish Accent.
