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

Kalia, Don’t know if any of these will suit. It’s for new callers, not necessarily new dancers, so the first may be too family dance oriented. All of the following are Becket formation My variant of Balance the Star #2 by the McLain Family (at least that’s the title I have for it). I changed the order of the stars, and also the first do-si-do that was left shoulder, as why make it more confusing? A1 Take left hands in a star, balance the star twice Star left once around A2 Take right hands in a star, balance the star twice Star right once around B1 Ladies do-si-do by the right shoulder (Neighbor do-si-do, if you have kids and adults and genders all mish-mashed) Gents do-si-do once around (partner do-si-do if did neighbor) B2 Circle left once around Slice left to the next couple Bride and Groom Reel Merri Rudd A1 Circle Left 3/4 Swing neighbor A2 Ladies allemande right Swing partner B1 Ladies chain Chain back B2 Long lines forward and back Slice left Is This Reel? Christine Hale A1 Do-si-do partner Swing partner A2 Circle left once Ladies chain B1 Long lines forward and back Swing the NEXT neighbor (not the one you chained to) B2 Promenade across the set Gents allemande left 1 1/2 Note that this could be a non-Becket if it started at B1. Also A1 could be balance and swing partner or spiral (we’ve been using this in lieu of the g-word) and swing partner. Jan and Dean I don’t know the author A1 Long lines Circle left 3/4, bottom couple arch, top couple pops through A2 Four in line down the hall with the next couple, turn alone and come back B1 Circle left once Ladies chain B2 Ladies do-si-do once Swing partner North Cascades Penn Fixx A1 On the left diagonal, right and left through Across the set, right and left through A2 Long lines forward and back Ladies chain B1 Ladies do-si-do 1 1/2 (this could also be a spiral) to end up in neighbor lady’s place Circle left once around B2 Balance and swing partner Square Affair (slight variant) Becky Hill A1 Slice left Ladies chain A2 Balance your partner, half square through Balance your partner, half square through B1 Balance and swing NEW neighbor facing you B2 Circle left 3/4 Swing partner
