I wrote this dance because I needed an accessible, interesting dance to fit the
tune Oddville Cupola by Claude Ginsberg of the Seattle contra dance band KGB
(www.kgbmole.com/kgb).  The Portland Megaband has played Oddville Cupola for
the last couple years and this dance has been very pleasing to dancers when
danced to that tune.  Of course, it will work with any 32-bar tune, but that
one is special.  Thanks, Claude!
