Thanks to Linda, Chris, and Beth for helping to identify these dances.  Now I can properly give credit to their authors.

The Becket dance is a slight variation of Cats & More Cats by Melanie Axel-Lute. Melanie’s dance has the following A1:

Circle left 3/4, pass thru, next N allemande Right once and a half

 

The Improper dance is a variation of Generation Gap by Thankful Cromartie. In her version, the only difference is  a ladies’ gyre instead of a do si do.

 

Cheers! Linda
