This is my go-to ending dance, and I love it.  It does, however, start 
with the dread circle left 3/4, which I'm trying to avoid in this case.

Another truly excellent dance.  I considered this one, but thought the 
timing subtleties of the zig-zag to allemande might get away from a 
hesitant new caller.  As a fairly new trainer-of-callers, I'm uncertain 
about how much complexity they can handle.  I know I was a total mess on 
my first few camper-night attempts.  Anything that needed teaching 
beyond the very basics would have been out of my league.  But there are 
often callers in classes who've got the basics down and are looking for 
a bit more of a challenge.

Again, the circle L 3/4 start...

Aha!  We may have a winner!  A glossary-figure Becket that doesn't start 
with circle L 3/4!

Ubiquitous, aren't they :>)

It's not _quite_ the first move...

Hooray, another good candidate!  The star promenade is an excellent 
bonus move, since none of my other easy dances have it, and I like the 
Women's dosido into the swing.

Thank you Linda!
