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?

Jonathan mentions The Blob -- a very fine dance indeed, I think. (see below)
A couple of additional things I do with it.
1) Blob up and down (Down and Up?)
Hold hands in small blobs or giant blobs and go down and up with appropriate blobbish
sound effects.
2) Blob ALL the Way Around -- do si do as Blobs (When you have at least two lines so you
can form two giant blobs)
Get the blobs circling left and encourage them to go around each other -- kind of like a
giant bouquet waltz. Success rates will vary when doing this but it will assuredly create
a lot of movement, confusion and laughter, even if everything falls apart.
The Blob
Sherry Nevins?
Longways proper for as many as will
with partners (any age, any gender) facing each other in a long line.
Starting at the top, join hands in groups of 4 or 6; this is your blob.
1 - Long lines forward and back
2 - Forward and back again
3 - Partners right elbow around
4 - Partners left elbow around
5 - Blobs join hands and circle left
6 - Circle right, back to place (top blob keep holding hands, others
jump WAY back from partner)
7-8 Top blob sashay down the center, others clap in time, & move up
towards the top

When you stumble, make it part of the dance.
