Kalia,
In Erik's dance, it appears partners are in adjacent lines of four (whether
women or men are in front depends on which side of the set you're on, also
which way the lines are turned. It also appears that the first 12 beats of
the Dublin Bay figure are as usual, but the last 4 beats are replaced by
outsides turning down and insides walking up to meet their partners.

I can't figure out the transition from the Dublin

I find, when dancing the one or two dances I’ve
danced that try to steal
the Dublin Bay figure, they have a line backing up bending into a
circle. I found this transition not to my taste. So I took a stab at a
different transition. I think it works, but it’s a bit tricky:
Happy Birthday, Susan
Erik Hoffman
Becket
A1 Wm “Chain the line” (Wm Al R ¾, then to next Wm, Al L ¾ to meet
Nb on R diag – across from Shadow);
Neighbor Swing
A2 LLF&B; Wm Chain to Shadow
B1 Dublin Bay DH4inL ends loop back, centers step forward to
B2 Pt B&S
Given to Susan Petrick on her birthday, while on tour with the
OpporTunists in 2010 (I think).
The Dublin Bay DH4inL: Down for 4, turn alone backing up for 4,
up for 4, turn alone, backing up for 4. From the ECD dance Dublin Bay.
Others have used the Dublin Bay move, but ended it with a “fold into a
circle. That backing up, then circling has never felt good to me. This
is my attempt to come up with a segue I like.
Note, even though it’s a Becket dance, there is a difference in
roles in this dance between the “ones” and “twos”.
