[Callers] Looking for a particular sort of becket dance

[Don Veino via Callers]

Here are two Becket dances which are somewhat unusual but still easy to
call and robust to dance. These might be considered a "step up" for a
beginner caller - something to grow into from straight glossary material -
requiring a more thought out walk-through/teach.

-Don

*Tranquility - Linda Leslie*
Contra/Becket-CW/Easy   (6/17/2000   Sandwich, MA)

A1   Long lines forward & back
       Gents allemande left once and a half
A2   Neighbor Balance & Swing
B1   Pass through to an ocean wave
       Balance
       Walk forward
       New Wave Balance
B2   Ladies allemande left one-half  (or once and a half)
       Partner Swing
(I recommend the 1+1/2 for the easier timing)

Wavy Star Slice – Becket – Don Veino 20170120

*Type:* Contra Dance, Becket Left/CW Formation

*A1*
(8) Slice left (Fwd on left diagonal, fall straight back)
(4,4) Fwd to Wavy Star*, Balance

*A2*
Star CW 3/4x (Gents forward, Ladies back up 3 places)
N Swing

*B1*
L Chain to P
Circle RIGHT 1x

*B2*
Partner Balance & Swing

*AKA “Gypsy Star” – Take hands in wave with same role N, Gents below
Ladies, for an interleaved wave facing opposite role N. Let go of outside
hands (the one touching adjacent hands/4 folks) and retake hands with
opposite role N before rotating the star.

Hi all,

I'm re-vamping my list of simple contra dances for new callers, and am in
search of a very particular sort of becket dance.
