+This dance was
+written to celebrate the last night in our steamy old church hall in Media, Pennsylvania,
+where group danced for 20 years. Ironically, we found ourselves locked out: not an
+infrequent occurrence, but usually Scott Higgs and I managed to pry open a window
+in the Sunday School building and squeeze in, This time, alas, they'd replaced the
+windows during renovations, and we were sealed out! Dance friends hosted us in
+their basement dance room instead, where the dance got its first try-out. So keys
+and cellars were a critical part of the evening's events."
