Re: [Callers] Unsual dances (Hexitation)

Hi John, On 14/10/2013 11:20 p.m., John Sweeney wrote: The breaks using tandem couples are a nice touch. Has anyone noticed that this dance is a Becket contra? If the sets are rotated 90 degrees (i.e. bringing the single couples at the top and bottom), the figure is simply a (double prog for the non-UK callers) Becket dance starting with the top and bottom out. A1: LLFB, CL 3/4, Pass thru A2: N Gyp & Sw B1: LLFB, (next) N Dosido B2: (same) N Swing; LC The swing ending mid-phrase goes over ok in this context. In B2 facing back into the 'hex formation' and the ends not doing the LC are just the natural end effects. At our regular house dances, we often have small sets and many Becket dances work very well viewed in this formation. Similarly four couple Beckets often yield nice figures for squares. Cheers, Bill
