Regarding "Kitchen Stomp" and the Petr Bal and Spin to Rt and the Ring Balance
being split across the phrasing: the first Ring Bal and spin is in the A2, the
next in the B1....
"Kitchen Stomp" by Becky Hill (Twirling Dervish Returns pg 14) was re-written
as "Becket in the Kitchen" (The Rosen Hill Collection pg 8) to get rid of the
Ring Bal/ Petr spin across the A's and B's.....
Note - Becket in the Kitchen may not be suitable for the beginners due to the
B1 - Star to New N Swg..... but probably OK for mixed crowds...

BECKET in the KITCHEN
Becket, counterclockwise
By Becky Hill
A1 - (8) LL F&B
(8) W Ch
A2 - (8) Bal Ring, spin to Rt as in Petr
(8) repeat
B1 - (8) Same four, Left Hand Star
(8) Swing NEW N in the next set
B2: (8) Men Allem Left 1.5
(8) P Swg on the original side
Author's comments: During the walk through, at the end of the A2, after the
second Petr spin, have the dancers turn around and note the new N w whom they
will swing after the Star Left. This reduces confusion considerably.
"Becket in the Kitchen" is a variation of "Kitchen Stomp" an earlier dance
published in Twirling Dervish Returns (1997). The dance was inspired by Jim
Kitch's "Discombobulation" publised in his collection "To Live is to Dance
(1995).

Also, be aware that people seem to have trouble getting to the
balance on time from the chain -- having the balance in the middle of
the phrase can feel odd if the musical phrased don't fit (I believe
Joy pointed out that you want to have the B part phrased to fit).
