the way it's constructed, nobody is ever out at the top; you're only out
when you're on the bottom with an odd number of couples.

Here's a Beckett with a circle that doesn't start with a circle:
Panix Dot Chat (aahz(a)pobox.com)
Beckett formation
Right-and-left thru on left diagonal (8)
(Yes, start with progression)
(Warn ends about not moving)
Right-and-left thru new couple (8)
Circle left 3/4 (8)
Swing neighbor (8)
Pass through (4)
California twirl (4)
Men left-hand turn once-and-half (8)
Balance and swing partner (16)
The dance is a double progression dance, so alerting dancers to the
fact that "you will quickly be back in the dance at the top" should
help. I also find that encouraging dancers to have an odd number of
couples (an extra couple at the bottom of the set) helps; this way,
they will get to dance with more of their neighbors.
