Richard gave the figures for a dance on YouTube as follows:

Duple Improper
A1        Neighbor Dosido
            Neighbor Swing

A2        Gents Allemande L 1.5
            Partner Swing

B1        Long Lines Forward & Back
            R & L across

B2        Ladies Chain Across
            LH Star. 

I don't know the tune, but it sounds to me like the dance starts with the long
lines and finishes with the partner swing. So, the beginning of the dance is cut
off the beginning of the YouTube clip and then comes around again at :32. That
also makes better choreographic sense, IMHO, and if that's correct then this is
Becket formation, not duple improper.

If so, then the notation would be:

Becket formation
A1        Long Lines Forward & Back
            R & L across

A2        Ladies Chain Across
            LH Star

B1        Neighbor Dosido
            Neighbor Swing

B2        Gents Allemande L 1.5
            Partner Swing
