Re: [Callers] Name of a dance

David, Looking at the video after reading your note, it suddenly appears obvious that you are correct! Thanks very much for picking up on that. I know that many, or probably most, dances can be called either as beckets or improper. Is there something in particular in this dance that would make you think that it wouldn't flow well as an improper dance?

I don't know the tune, but it sounds to me like the dance starts with the long lines and finishes with the partner swing. So, the beginning of the dance is cut off the beginning of the YouTube clip and then comes around again at :32. That also makes better choreographic sense, IMHO, and if that's correct then this is Becket formation, not duple improper. If so, then the notation would be: Becket formation A1 Long Lines Forward & Back R & L across A2 Ladies Chain Across LH Star B1 Neighbor Dosido Neighbor Swing B2 Gents Allemande L 1.5 Partner Swing David Millstone Lebanon, NH _______________________________________________ Callers mailing list Callers(a)sharedweight.net http://www.sharedweight.net/mailman/listinfo/callers No virus found in this incoming message.
