Hop, skip, shuffle, twitch,
Wiggle, wobble, run and fall,
Slide, spin, scratch an itch,
Drive your car into a wall

An International Odyssey of Nerds.
A suite of short, silly, abstract dances. It uses archaic and cartoonish shapes and odd rhythms. Inspired by the cartoon-like squareness of a 1950's stereo demonstration record, and by our painful voyage of discovery of the Nerd Within.
Individual sections are
- The Breezes and Us
- I Surrender, Dear
- That old black magic's got me in its spell -- oh, sorry, that's a different song.
- I'm in the Mood for Love
- We're in the mood for dancing.
- The Man I Love
- It's a good thing there's somebody!
- Misirlou
- Is he a fakir, or just a faker?
- My Heart Belongs to Daddy
- ... and my kidneys came from the butcher shop. A familiar legend retold.
- Orchids in the Moonlight
- It takes three to tangle.
