Kalia, Don’t know if any of these will suit. It’s for new callers, not necessarily new dancers, so the first may be too family dance oriented.

All of the following are Becket formation

My variant of Balance the Star #2 by the McLain Family (at least that’s the title I have for it). I changed the order of the stars, and also the first do-si-do that was left shoulder, as why make it more confusing?

A1 Take left hands in a star, balance the star twice

Star left once around

A2 Take right hands in a star, balance the star twice

Star right once around

B1 Ladies do-si-do by the right shoulder (Neighbor do-si-do, if you have kids and adults and genders all mish-mashed)

Gents do-si-do once around (partner do-si-do if did neighbor)

B2  Circle left once around

Slice left to the next couple

Bride and Groom Reel

Merri Rudd

A1 Circle Left 3/4

Swing neighbor

A2 Ladies allemande right

Swing partner

B1 Ladies chain

Chain back

B2 Long lines forward and back

Slice left

Is This Reel?

Christine Hale

A1 Do-si-do partner

Swing partner

A2 Circle left once

Ladies chain

B1 Long lines forward and back

Swing the NEXT neighbor (not the one you chained to)

B2 Promenade across the set

Gents allemande left 1 1/2

Note that this could be a non-Becket if it started at B1. Also A1 could be balance and swing partner or spiral (we’ve been using this in lieu of the g-word)  and swing partner.
