At the 2013 Madison Ball, Lynn Litterer mentioned a figure she'd danced at a workshop earlier that day (the Helix) and asked if I could create a dance for which the name Double Helix would be appropriate. This is the fourth of several dances I came up with. The figure in bars 9-16 is based on an idea Mady Newfield had in class when we tried one of the earlier Helix dances.
