Re: [Callers] Calls for Kitchen Stomp / Becket in Kitchen and Salmonella Evening

Regarding "Kitchen Stomp" and the Petr Bal and Spin to Rt and the Ring Balance being split across the phrasing: the first Ring Bal and spin is in the A2, the next in the B1.... "Kitchen Stomp" by Becky Hill (Twirling Dervish Returns pg 14) was re-written as "Becket in the Kitchen" (The Rosen Hill Collection pg 8) to get rid of the Ring Bal/ Petr spin across the A's and B's..... Note - Becket in the Kitchen may not be suitable for the beginners due to the B1 - Star to New N Swg..... but probably OK for mixed crowds... Karen Fontana BECKET in the KITCHEN Becket, counterclockwise By Becky Hill A1 - (8) LL F&B (8) W Ch A2 - (8) Bal Ring, spin to Rt as in Petr (8) repeat B1 - (8) Same four, Left Hand Star (8) Swing NEW N in the next set B2: (8) Men Allem Left 1.5 (8) P Swg on the original side Author's comments: During the walk through, at the end of the A2, after the second Petr spin, have the dancers turn around and note the new N w whom they will swing after the Star Left. This reduces confusion considerably. "Becket in the Kitchen" is a variation of "Kitchen Stomp" an earlier dance published in Twirling Dervish Returns (1997). The dance was inspired by Jim Kitch's "Discombobulation" publised in his collection "To Live is to Dance (1995).
