This dance is dedicated to Avril and David Quarrie, two amazing dancers, teachers, and people. It has been written to thank them for their unwavering support to so many young dancers (including myself) whom they’ve encouraged to keep dancing and improving, as well as making them discover a real passion.
This dance may also be used by anyone to say thank you to anyone else because, sometimes, we just don’t say it enough.
