There are a couple of other dances I'm having trouble tracking down. One is Hotpoint Special, which I think may be by Rick Mohr, and again there's a band by that name. Criss-Cross Hey by Bob Isaacs is another. Kalia _______________________________________________ Callers mailing list Callers(a)sharedweight.net http://www.sharedweight.net/mailman/listinfo/callers

Yes, the B1 allemandes are each 1/2 -- a swing thru in MWSD parlance. Thanks for the correction on the name. I don't have the direction of the progression written down (but should). Based on my walking it through with myself, though, it is indeed to the right. On 7/9/2013 6:31 PM, Linda Leslie wrote:

Rick has a very complete web page which includes all of his dances, and some great commentary! http://rickmohr.net/Contra/Dances.asp#Introduction Joseph's last name is spelled: Pimentel Jack: would you please clarify? In the dance below, the allemandes in the B1 are each 1/2, correct? And the Becket progression is to the right (counter clockwise)? Thanks for sharing the dance; such a creative way to progress!

This might be a slightly easier alternate if I want to call Jurassic Redheads, but the crowd isn't quite up for it. RTB On Jul 10, 2013 2:19 AM, "Bob Isaacs" <isaacsbob(a)hotmail.com> wrote:

Kalia: Here's the one from me: Criss-Cross Heys Becket-L, 4/1/03 A1. 8,2,6 Circle L and pass through R, N2 pass L, N3 gypsy R A2. 4,12 N2 balance, swing B1. 8,8 Gents allemande L 1 1/2, 1/2 hey (PR, LL, N2R, GL) B2. 4,12 Partner balance, swing (or gypsy and swing) The A1 forms a mini hey up and down, and combined the 1/2 hey across gives you the criss-cross. A relatively simple way to go out of the minor set - Bob
