Re: [Callers] Reverse prog/becket R dances?

[Yoyo Zhou via Callers]

Here are a few:

Amy Asked for a Gypsy (Charley Harvey)
Balance to my Lou (Becky Hill)
Maliza's Magical Mystery Motion (Cary Ravitz)
Square Thru to You (Bob Isaacs)
The Wise People of Chicago (Bradley Smith)


BTW, in a medley, you can change directions (becket-L to becket-R) if you
also flip which side of the set the dancers are on, but only do this once.
(E.g., the first time through, swapping circle left 3/4, N swing for a
gents allemande left 1+1/2, N swing.) As long as dancers continue to
progress to new neighbors up/down as before, they won't come back to
previous neighbors.

To be precise, Carol's dance is titled "A Piece O' Cake".  It's
found on page 9 of the book _Twirling Dervish Returns_ by Becky
Hill, Paul Balliet, and Carol Kopp (1997).  Except for having
the neighbor balance and swing as the A1 (and consequently having
it be with original neighbor, not "N2"), the choreography is
identical to that in Tom's message quoted below.

Hi Tom:


Your memory is correct - the improper version is called Piece of Cake by Carol 
Kopp.

My memory tells me that this might be a Becket version of a
previously written improper contra.

A2   bal and swing N2

B1  hey, men, left

B2  men pass left a 3rd time and swing P.

 Anyone have some favorites to share?  Especially interested in dances that
are simple enough to be part of a medley (they don't need to be dead
simple, just not absurdly complex).

Cheers,
Maia
