Dance Video DAVID (Video 1)
London Gay Gordons, Chiswick and Richmond groups, 2017.
A blend of the first two attempts at a challenging new dance: generally good but also displaying various potential pitfalls.
There are some missed casts and startled turns, a late entry into the central circle in the 2nd repeat and wrong order into a chase in the 4th repeat (neatly corrected at the end of the circle).
The last repeat is best viewed as a surprising recovery from a momentary lapse and also shows the classic error of birling too long to end back on the sidelines.
