This dance is dedicated to Bruce Herbold and Patti Cobb in honor of their wedding. Bruce first taught this dance to a class which met on Parnassus Avenue. Michele Winter suggested the name in reference to the piano keyboard exercises "Gradus ad Parnassum" (The Steps to Parnassus) and her feeling that due to the square set formation we were gods dancing on top of the mountain. The music by Janet Kurnick is pure ambrosia.
