The Proper Becket formation, and the nickname for it, have been kicking
around for years. Does that really count as a new formation for contra?
(And would Greenfield really want the nickname associated with it?)

O.K. , here is an entry, with two dances by Jim
Hemphill. We have danced
one of them, the other is by concept only, but will be vetted this weekend.
The formation might be described as "proper becket" - if you line up proper
and turn the group of four one place to the left.
Jim's first dance, nicknamed* Missionary Men*, suggests another way to
describe this formation. I had written an English style dance using this
also, but Jim's dances are vastly superior I think.
Proper Becket (proposed "Greenfield formation)
A1 1st corners Chain with a courtesy turn
Mad robin (1st corners in 1st) then step to an ocean wave (1st corners
in center join right, left to same sex neighbor)
A2 Balance right and left, slide right
Partner swing
B1 Slide left circle left 3
Neighbor swing
B2 Ladies chain, gent 1 roll your partner away
Long line forward and back
Fairly similar to May the 5th Be With You
