Looking at this dance I have to admit that I am more intrigued by the
Beckett version as suggested by David. I like having an easy dance
to introduce the idea of the Becket formation. I also like having an
easy dance that begins with "long lines forward and back."
How should I credit the dance if I call it as a Becket? Is there a
standard etiquette for this?
How about "Contra Culver City" for the Becket version with switched A
and B parts?

Richard gave the figures for a dance on YouTube as follows:
Duple Improper
A1 Neighbor Dosido
Neighbor Swing
A2 Gents Allemande L 1.5
Partner Swing
B1 Long Lines Forward & Back
R & L across
B2 Ladies Chain Across
LH Star.
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
