Re: [Callers] Looking for a particular sort of becket dance

Here are two Becket dances which are somewhat unusual but still easy to call and robust to dance. These might be considered a "step up" for a beginner caller - something to grow into from straight glossary material - requiring a more thought out walk-through/teach. -Don *Tranquility - Linda Leslie* Contra/Becket-CW/Easy (6/17/2000 Sandwich, MA) A1 Long lines forward & back Gents allemande left once and a half A2 Neighbor Balance & Swing B1 Pass through to an ocean wave Balance Walk forward New Wave Balance B2 Ladies allemande left one-half (or once and a half) Partner Swing (I recommend the 1+1/2 for the easier timing) Wavy Star Slice – Becket – Don Veino 20170120 *Type:* Contra Dance, Becket Left/CW Formation *A1* (8) Slice left (Fwd on left diagonal, fall straight back) (4,4) Fwd to Wavy Star*, Balance *A2* Star CW 3/4x (Gents forward, Ladies back up 3 places) N Swing *B1* L Chain to P Circle RIGHT 1x *B2* Partner Balance & Swing *AKA “Gypsy Star” – Take hands in wave with same role N, Gents below Ladies, for an interleaved wave facing opposite role N. Let go of outside hands (the one touching adjacent hands/4 folks) and retake hands with opposite role N before rotating the star.
