Got this Beckett formation dance by Beth Molaro (or at least marked that way) in my deck that I haven’t called in a long time. But it doesn’t seem to time out when I walk through it. Here’s what I have:
W walk around partner by right then cross left to swing neighbor.
LL F&B, W chain across.
W pass right for 1/2 hey, partners swing
Look right to circle left with new neighbors
Seems too short to me. I thought maybe the first cross by the left was 1/2 hey then women cross again to swing neighbor (which is how I vaguely recall it) but that seems too long. What dumb thing am I missing?
