Tallahasee Settlement Twirl Formation:Becket (double progression) Author:Seth Tepfer Composed:3/17/97 A1:(8) long lines, forward & back; (8) w/partner, allemande left as much as you want* those in center take right hands. A2:(4) balance the ocean wave (4) walk forward to next ocean wave; (4) balance (4) centers allemande right to trail buddy (neighbor) B1:(8) swing shadow; (8) right and left through on left diagonal B2:(8) 1/2 hey across set, those on the right (who were originally in the middle, 'women') start by passing right shoulders (8) swing partner Note: B1: Ending swing in the middle phrase, a forgotten dance skill, needs extra prompting. Note 2: Four potential 'shadows' (your shadow, your partner's shadow, and each of your shadow's partners) Note 3: Warning to ends: watch out - you come in at 2nd balance or R&Lthru *for first time, allemande until gents are in center. A revised version of Tom Hinds "Any Kind of Settlement" which was from Tony Saletan's "Amicable Settlement." I wanted to mix the randomness of 'allemande as much as you want' with the 'walk to next ocean wave'. Also named after the fact that it was written right after I started 'settling in' to Tallahassee, having just moved there. I teach this dance having the women go in the middle first, then 2nd walk thru have the men go in the middle, but explain the people in the middle are playing the women's role (as far as the R&L thru, the Ladies Chain, the shadow swing). Conversely, the ones on the outside are playing the men's role.

I'm looking for dances with elements for each dance role that are more typically danced by the other role (such as Jeff Spero's "Equal Opportunity," which has the ones chain). I have "Roll Away Sue" by Bob Isaacs (a gent's chain), but would love other dances with balances and waves that might fit this theme. Thanks for your ideas!
