This dance revises the infamous candidate dance Frog in the Middle. I find the tune fantastic and the dance, well, lacking.
The frogs on the mantle belong to Alfred and Eleanor Hurd, whose home has hosted many social dances, and classes and who use frogs to mark the sets. This dance is written for them, and for our candidate class tutors, Geoffrey Selling and Jill Emery.
