This week's flourish reminds me a little bit of the "swing" I learned in elementary school when we learned the Virginia Reel in gym class. But since we're not ten years old anymore, there's a bit more centrifugal force involved. Given this force and speed, though, there is a rather large asterisk on this flourish that says, "Please do not use on people with known arm/shoulder issues or people who have not already made clear they want lots and lots and lots of speed." As an illustration of the differences between dancers: despite my love of swinging fast, this one's a bit strong for me, truth be told. Steve, however, thinks this one is awesome.
Happy Friday!

P.S. To answer a question that several people have written to ask me, no, we won't be at Youth Dance Weekend (just wasn't in the cards for this year), but it looks like it's going to be a blast. (And if any of you happen to find some new flourishes out there...send them my way, please -- they might be featured on this blog!)
