Very clever! Each couple progresses clockwise each time through the
dance, so this would be a perfect dance to do when the numbers of
couples has dwindled. Thanks for sharing.

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

That would be great! Hope you can share the ones that work well
with us, with his permission, of course.
At a dance we rarely have that few people left, but for an
informal gathering I'm always looking for ways to keep people on
the floor.

I usually consider 5 couple a minimum for a regular contra dance,
but triples like Money Musk require more people.
A caller up here, Byron Ricker, has been writing a few dances that
he calls "quad beckets." 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.
