I was trying to come up with a dance last night that fit different
parameters (full hey, no chain, and more balances), but it ends up fitting
Luke's parameters too. I ended up not using this one, but has Bob (or
another choreographer) written it already?
Becket
A1: (slide left to progress,) circle
(Sending to the list this time!)

Bob -
That depends on your objectives! The original Becket Reel was a double
progression and I generally prefer that.
Hi All:
As Luke noted, there are two dances with similar names. The first is:
Return to Sender
Becket-L, double, 7/18/00
A1. L diagonal R and L through, ladies chain to neighbor
A2. Hey (LR, PL, GR, NL) - give R to N
B1. Balance, box the gnat and pull by R, gents allemande L 1 1/2
B2. Pa
Two corrections:
The Bob Isaacs composition that I accidentally duplicated is "Return 2
Sender".
"Return to Sender" is a different Bob Isaacs dance with a double
progression.
I'm now proposing Vallimont's Silver Hammer be the following dance instead:
Becket
A1
Circle Left
Neighbor Swing
A2
Prome
The dance name "Return to Sender" may always now seem a bit ironic to you, but
there are worse things in life than to come up with choreography so good that
Bob Isaacs got there first.

Sorry for the false alarm.

My tentative name (assuming the composition doesn't already exist) is
Vallimont's Silver Hammer. The dance came out of a conversation with the
talented musician Julie Vallimont (just got permission to use the name)
about closing sets; and how callers like dances that end with swings but
bands often
Luke,
I don't recognize it, but it looks fun.
Just curious ... did you have a particular tune in mind that shaped your
desire for the balance at the top of the B sections?

Hello all,
I was trying to write a nice end-of-evening dance that had a balance at the
top of B1, and ended with a partner swing (that wasn't Old Time Elixir #2
or Tica Tica timing...) and came up with this. I think it's new, and it
worked well in Montreal recently; but I'd like to know if it alre
