Dance Video Dancing on Parnassus (Video 1)
(No short description)
This is the most brilliant dance I know and when it turned out that several people at Pinewoods 2017 had not done it we took over a pavilion and did it (twice through). The recording is of the original tunes by Janet Kurnick performed by Patti Cobb and James MacQueen.
