This dance is for Steve Oakes, an enthusiastic member of the Gay Gordons group in London. Early in 2022 he had to spend a few months away helping to make a film set near the Cliffs of Moher in county Clare, Ireland. This was written to entice him back. Steve’s pas de basque style is quite energetic and he likes twirls and wide loops. All those are exhibited here.

There is a short video with a good view of the cliffs at https://youtu.be/XtYH2as-r5Y.
