Bees in the Shower

Becket,1/4 Left

Men allemand left halfway (to ocean wave)
Balance & Swg Neighbor
Men Alm Lft all the way (once)
Pass N by right, women pass left & gypsy Once plus with partner (to
flow into a circle, men in front)
Circle Left once
Pass Thru across, curve to the right to circle left once with NEW neighbors
Swing partner on the side.

Jim writes:  "This dance was written during American Week at Pinewoods
Camp one year when the best showers in the camp were unusable because
a nest of yellow-jackets had taken up residence in them.

What makes the dance nice is its flow, first from the gypsy into the
circle, and then on into the pass thru (which I think works best if it
is treated like a half gypsy, crossing over with the neighbor who is
opposite you in the circle).  The smooth flow is completed if the
dancers gradually CURVE to the right and down the side two steps or so
and then continue the CURVE right into the circle with the new
neighbors!
   Also, be sure to stess to the men that they have half AND full left
allemands at the top of the A's."
