Tune: “Marjorie’s Fleet-Footed Departure” composed by Judi Nicolson ©Deeay Music  
Devised by Amy Hoffman, 2020  
The tune was inspired by frantic, early morning packing at the end of the 2014 TAC Summer School in Greeley, Colorado. Due to an unfortunate mishap with an alarm clock, Marjorie awoke to find she had 25 minutes to pack and catch the shuttle to the airport. Thanks to Judi’s determined efforts everything was tossed into the suitcase and Marjorie made it out the door – she even managed to brush her teeth!  
The dance just came to the devisor one day while thinking of something totally different. It was written, so to speak, on the fly. The hope is it can be danced lightly and whimsically, as it was written. The dance and tune have found each other now.

Table rows with a green background denote recordings starting with one of the recommended tunes and the usual number of repetitions for the dance (8). A yellow background means a recording with one of the recommended tunes but a non-standard number of repetitions. Recordings with a red background use a different tune and possibly a non-standard number of repetitions.

Recordings whose titles are in italics are not explicitly linked to this dance but have been identified by the database based on the type, bar count, and recommended tune(s) of the dance.
