This dance was called at Sugar Hill, but the caller didn't know the name or
the author of the dance.
It's a fun dance. Does anyone recognize it?
Becket contra
A1: Circle balance; Petronella turn; [no time for clapping] Nieghbor Swing.
A2: Circle balance; Petronella turn; [no time for clapping] Partner Swing.
B1: Right Diagonal Ladies pass right shoulders to start 1/2 Hey. Gents
follow partner in Hey;
Across with new neighbors, Ladies pass right shoulders to start 1/2
Hey Gents follow partner in Hey.
B2: Partner Balance+Swing.
Notes:
Single CCW progression, but you're always in at the top.
With an odd number of couples, the extra couple at the bottom waits becket on
the side that lets them join the right diagonal hey. That's where they end
up when they become the "out" couple, so they should NOT cross.

The dance is a double progression. The first neighbor couple dance by
in the diagonal 1/2 hey; this is the only dancing that is done with
them. The second couple is then found in the completion of the hey
across the set. One hint to double progressions is not having a couple
out at the top. And Seth actually spells it: ContraQuad

Ah yes. I was thinking about the progression wrong when I decided it was
single progression (which made the nobody-out-at-the-top very strange so I
should have figured it out.) Blame it on Sugar Hill euphoria (grin).
Thanks Linda

Sugar Hill euphoria is a very good explanation! Happy to help...
