Hello all! I've been meaning to chime
in. Don't think anyone has mentioned this one. I would consider Beneficial
Tradition by Dan Pearl has having an unusual sequence. A friend used the
exact same words, gimmicky, when I called it. That term hadn't occurred to me
until he mentioned it. Anyway, here it is and a youtube link:
Becket, double
progression
A1 Ladies alle L 1.0 to form a
wavy line; Bal wave, swing P
A2 Circle L 3/4, N
swing
B1 Ladies chain,
LLFB
B2 straight across with
opposite sex, pull by left, face in (4)
on slight right diagonal, with same
sex, pull by right, face in (4)
straight across, with opposite sex
pull by left, face in (4)
on slight right diagonal with same
sex, pull by right, face in (4)
The author advises: This one needs
strong, clear four-beat phrases in B2. More driving or exuberant and not
mysterious or in a minor key.
I think Brian Hamshar did an
excellent job teaching this dance.
