Re: [Callers] Really!?

Really! When I asked recently about the transition in the first move of a Beckett from circle left ¾ and do-si-do neighbor (or pass through and do-si-do the next neighbor), I was interested in differences in the experience for the man and the women. Try these two figures. To simplify this description I am thinking of the couple who are together in the line on the caller’s left (i.e. the couple who in setting up the Beckett with “Hands four, Actives Cross over and all circle left one place to the left”, started out as the active couple). (1) As the first move in a Beckett again, or at least from that “home” position, circle left ¾ and pass through to the neighbors above, or the next neighbors above that. (2) Starting as before, circle left ¾ and have the man go down and pass through and do-si-do the next neighbor below, while the woman goes up and passes through and do-si-dos the next neighbor above. This last figure I have worked into a dance. Still Surprised in New Hampshire. Rickey Holt.
