Hi Jeanette. Here are a couple from the Crack Pipe Collective that are just
a little outside-the-box.
The first is *Missionary Men* by Jim Hemphill done in Proper Becket
formation:

This one is *Wes Side Story, *a Becket mixer:

Another great group of dances to explore are the triplets. One I like is
Ted's triplet #7 for teaching contra corners:

The Ralph Page Weekend syllabi are also a great place to find a variety of
formations. Here is a link to one from 2006:

Happy exploration!

I am researching dances outside of duple
improper/becket formations for a
small but experienced groups of dancers hungry for something a bit
different. I am confident calling DI and becket, but haven't ventured much
into other formations except circle mixers, so need to stick to things that
will succeed for both me and the dancers. Other options would be DI or
beckett but with something unusual happening.
Suggestions welcome.
And if anyone has instructions for Sackett's Harbor I'd be grateful to
receive them.
