*The original published instructions for this dance specify
“promenade” hold though a Knot is usually danced using
allemande hold, so this could be a typographical error - or maybe
(k)not!
Devised by Kirsten Ferguson, who was asked for directions to a restaurant during the 2008 Inter-Varsity Folk
Dance Festival in Sheffield. Friends were told to look for “The Blue Lights of Pizza Express” as their rendezvous
point, and having enjoyed a very good pizza, Kirsten wrote this dance!
