Note: Several years ago I had a frozen shoulder that prevented me from doing any contra dancing because every time I would try I would end up in more pain. This led me to compose this dance which has no physical contact. This dance is especially suited for those with injuries such as a broken wrist or arm, frozen shoulder, or hand injuries where contact would be painful.
