So... it occurred to me that it'd be really easy to do a mixed-role contra corners from Becket position. 

A few weeks ago, I danced Jim Kitch's Equinox, which had a fun setup and you finish Contra Corners by passing R , but ... do people know any simpler ways? Like, for example, dance below. I can't possibly have been the first to figure this out, eh?

(If not written yet: Buttered Corners)

Becket

A1. Circle L 3/4

       NS

A2. Robins Chain

       LLFB*

B1. Bottom couples Contra Corners**

       Same Couples Pass R, to P

B2. P B + S

       ... slide L to New Ns

* opportunity in the lines for partners to rollaway to swap roles

** and can alternate top couples, bottom couples, doing bottom couples - who were original 1s - first. This way, the top of the set has corners for people, always.

Like, literally this gives 16 measures to progress and have a neighbor swing if you want. If we opened up to the idea of contra corners with a neighbor from Becket, it opens up immense numbers of dances that can be written.

In dance,
