The Deeside Railway, located along the north bank of the River Dee in Aberdeenshire, was a line that travelled from Aberdeen to Ballater as a stretch of the Great North of Scotland Railway. While in operation, the railway was used by the British Royal Family during travel to their Scottish retreat at Balmoral, hence the local name the Royal Deeside Line.

This dance was written to be a representation of the course of the Saint John River, which flows through New Brunswick, Canada and discharges into the Bay of Fundy. The industrial city of Saint John is located at the mouth of the river. Near the river's mouth, there is a unique phenomenon called the Reversing Falls, caused by the high tides of the Bay of Fundy. These tides are the highest in the world and cause the river to reverse its flow twice a day in a narrow gorge in the city's centre.
