For the members of the New York Branch to mark the 25th Pawling Weekend.
In his footnote to the dance Drewry writes: The title was chosen to teach the New York Branch Newsletter writers that they were not the only ones who could play with words. They suggested that I only deserved a “Dee” grade for many of my dances! Those who find the title truly “appalling” may use “THE BIG APPLE” as an alternative.
