I am not familiar with this dance - but if you are on the same side of the set as your
partner - a shadow cannot be located on the other side - so they will be on the same side
somewhere to your right or left.

In Groundhog Daze how would you teach this? If you are next to your partner in becket
where is your "shadow" in relation to you? Is he next to you on the side or
across from you your Nbr? Can't seem to figure this out. Help please. Thanks.

Jim just wanted to let you know that I also called your dance to the
njoyment of the audience. I started it at your B1 for an end-of-tune
rogression (as Mark noted).

Jim, your dance strikes me as a rather unique
combination of moves, and I
would be surprised if it had already been written. It
looks like it has
nice flow, have you called it to live dancers yet?

p.s. I notice it could also start at B1 (as a duple improper dance that
progresses in the expected place), or at A2 (as a Becket dance that ends
with a partner swing).

I'm fairly new to Calling and fascinated with Contra dance choreography.
Below is my attempt at a Groundhog day dance. The groundhog starts his
day by looking for his shadow and so does this dance.
Groundhog Daze Becket
A1 Gypsy your shadow
Partner swing
A2 Circle left 3 places
Balance the circle, 1's make an arch, 2's dive thru
B1 Next neighbor balance and swing
B2 Long lines forward and back
Ladies allemande right 1/2, partner allemande left 3/4
I know there are thousands of dances out there so if this is not an
original, please let me know the true name.
Thanks, Jim Hemphill
