Here is a video of *Levi Jackson Rag*. This one is of particular interest
because of the pole in the center of the set. The dance hall at Levi
Jackson State Park also had poles in the middle of the dance floor. Pat
shaw was commissioned to write a dance to take advantage of these poles.
Hence* Levi Jackson Rag.

Some have already mentioned triplets, such as
Ted's Triplets.
Also there's the scatter mixer Borrowdale Exchange.
And also, there's Levi Jackson Rag, by Pat Shaw, which is usually done
to the tune of the same name.
5 couples, one at the head, and 4 others in becket formation in a line
below Note that you change partner each time through the dance, so ten
repetitions is a good choice.
A1: Sides R&L through; 1's down center ½ way;
Sides R&L back; 1's down center to end.
A2: Sides Circle L 1 x; 1.s go up outside to home;
Partner Dosido.
B1: 5 Ladies chain; Courtesy Turn.
(leave partner, pass another, give L to next for courtesy turn.)
5 Ladies chain again.
(At this point ladies end up with their neighbor, initially on the
left, who is now their new partner.)
B2: Promenade 1 place; Bal & Swing new partner here.
There are few Youtube videos of this dance available.

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.
