Chasing the "L" is not a double progression dance. Also, the original
Becket Reel is not double progression. Each time through the figures
each couple moves just one place to the left (clockwise). There may be
some confusion on this because the posting of the Becket Reel
choreography at
http://www.cambridgefolk.org.uk/contra/dances/herbie_gaudreau/becket_reel.html
states, incorrectly, that Becket Reel is a double progression dance.
There may exist some double progression Becket dances, but most that I
know and use are single progression.

Colin Hume remarked on 5/15/2010 2:36 AM:
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).
Surely this is just a double progression Becket dance - as the
original Becket Reel was.
