Enda Scahill – Gan Ainm/Liz Carroll’s (Air Tune) – steps inspired by this track. I went down the rabithole after class and continued to work on the step. I created the orginal part of it just before class and then built on it and am in the process of adding a triplet into the step. It’s a work in porgress.
