| NY Subway Map from the MTA website. |
The dance mimics the experience of a ride on the New York subway, from the trip down the stairs, to slipping between the train doors, to changing subway lines.
Edited to remove the dances we didn't get to on the 9th, due to extensive technique practice on Manhattan. We will be trying them on the 16th.
