The deviser explains, \u201dThe name for this dance came from a trip to Disneyquest where I attended
\nthe Animation Station and learned to draw Pluto\u2019s head: draw circles for the basic outline, add
\nmeridian lines for reference, and then fill in the details. It seemed to match the structure of this
\ndance. \u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
