Although we are doing an abridged version for Dance Gathering, it's not officially "finished"-- there is so much more that I want to add to it, choreographically and conceptually, but time got away from us. Regardless, we already have a notable improvement over the original, the footage from today looks great, and we're excited to present it this coming weekend.
