Here’s a very simple one that my friend Jimmy Akin wrote that I think fills the 
bill:

Instant Beckett
Formation: Beckett
by Jimmy Akin

 

1.     Forward & Back

2.     Men Dosado (R diag.)

3.     Ladies Dosado (L diag.)

4.     Partner Swing

5.     Left Diag. Right and Left Thru

6.     Straight Across Right and Left Thru

7.     (Ladies lead) 1/2 Hey

1/2 Promenade across the set.
