Re: [Callers] Double contra - whodunnit?

Below is the post with the dance. My question: what consitutes "4-face-4 becket formation"?? ~ Becky Nankivell Title: Major Hey Author: Erik Hoffman Formation: 4-face-4, becket A1: Circle Left 3/4, pass through; New Neighbor Swing A2: Long Lines; Men allemande Left 1 1/2 (to a line of people across both, sets, partners facing, men back-to-back) B1: Balance, slide right (a la Rory O'More); balance left, slide left (a la Rory O'More) B2: face partner, use right hand to start 1/2 hey for 8 (16)** C1: partner balance and swing David (G), you are correct. The only difference between what Tom and Gaye called are the B1 - the Rory O'More. In teaching this dance, people need to remember that when they start they hey they are passing their partner by the right and going opposite directions from their partner -- though the next-to-the-outside two people will immediately 'bounce' off the ends and effectively follow their partners. If you end up having two major sets (lines) of four-face-four, you need to keep them widely separately. People have a tendency to keep hey-ing across 16 people. Fun, but not necessarily this dance.

It also has Rory o' More slides in it, and is 40 bars. Though I think it's a Becket 4-face-4. -Chris Page San Diego
