Joe Dolson of Minneapolis won the dance and tune in an auction to raise funds for the Teachers’ Association of Canada at its virtual summer school in 2021. Joe explains the title of the dance and tune as follows: “The title ‘Ducking the Wind’ comes from a behavior our cat exhibits when she is offered the opportunity to go outside in the winter - she begs piteously to go out, then when the blast of cold air comes in, she’ll try to duck away from it. It’s very cute. This dance contains a lot of variations on swirling - in the set and link, reels, and the chase, and the casting is somewhat an effect of ducking away from each other.”
