[Callers] Dance length

[Richard Hart]

I saw Byron tonight and he gave me an ok to share his dance here, so 
here is Chasing the "L".

*Chasing the “L”* - Byron Ricker “Quad” Becket
A Quad Becket is a dance that can be done with just 4 couples, as no one 
is ever out at the ends

*A1:* On the L Diagonal, Right & Left Through;
Ladies Chain Straight Across

*A2:* Men Allemande L 1 ½ x (to partner)
Gypsy with Partner

*B1:* Hey for 4 (Women start with L sh)

*B2:* Partner Balance & Swing

> A caller up here, Byron Ricker, has been writing a few dances that he calls "quad beckets."  Quad becket dances are becket dances that can be danced with 4 or more couples and that never leaves anyone out (unless there are an odd number of couples). Many, but not all becket dances work this way.  With just 4 couples left, I've sometimes called a quad becket with some success.
