Re: [Callers] Name of a dance

Thanks Dave that cleared it up for us (at least Greg and I).  I didn't want to change the name, or the author, but I wanted those who cared to know that it wasn't in its original form.

Agreed with you - I called it tonight, it seemed to go well with a half and half crowd.  I referred to it as Culver City Becket, a variation of Culver City Contra by James Hutson (excuse me I don't have the author's name in front of me). Laurie ---- Looking at this dance I have to admit that I am more intrigued by the Beckett version as suggested by David.  I like having an easy dance to introduce the idea of the Becket formation.  I also like having an easy dance that begins with "long lines forward and back." How should I credit the dance if I call it as a Becket?  Is there a standard etiquette for this? How about "Contra Culver City" for the Becket version with switched A and B parts? ************** At 01:49 PM 1/28/2010, you wrote:       _______________________________________________ Callers mailing list Callers(a)sharedweight.net http://www.sharedweight.net/mailman/listinfo/callers _______________________________________________ Callers mailing list Callers(a)sharedweight.net http://www.sharedweight.net/mailman/listinfo/callers
