I saw Byron tonight and he gave me an ok to share his dance here, so here is Chasing the "L". *Chasing the “L”* - Byron Ricker “Quad” Becket A Quad Becket is a dance that can be done with just 4 couples, as no one is ever out at the ends *A1:* On the L Diagonal, Right & Left Through; Ladies Chain Straight Across *A2:* Men Allemande L 1 ½ x (to partner) Gypsy with Partner *B1:* Hey for 4 (Women start with L sh) *B2:* Partner Balance & Swing Laur remarked on 5/13/2010 1:29 AM: > That would be great!

Quad becket dances are becket dances that can be danced with 4 or more couples and that never leaves anyone out (unless there are an odd number of couples). Many, but not all becket dances work this way. With just 4 couples left, I've sometimes called a quad becket with some success. > > Rich. > > _______________________________________________ Callers mailing list Callers@sharedweight.net http://www.sharedweight.net/mailman/listinfo/callers
