<br>
Short But Sweet<br>
Becket<br>
A1    Circle left 3/4<br>
         Swing neighbour<br>
A2    Balance the ring<br>
         Nevada twirl with partner (California twirl with other hands)<br>
         With next couple, balance the ring<br>
         Petronella turn one place anti-clockwise<br>
B      Half hey, starting with women passing left shoulders<br>
         Swing partner<br>
<br>
There's an animation of the dance at <a href="http://www.dancekaleidoscope.org.au/dance.html#ShortButSweet" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.dancekaleidoscope.org.au/dance.html#ShortButSweet</a>.<br>
<br>
Are there many other 24 bar Contras?<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>
