No - when you are back in 2 lines and normal improper formation each minor set turns one place to the left - just like any other Becket dance. At that point you and the other couple that was in your line of 4 are facing the same direction and each is facing a neighbor couple across the normal contra line
A big difference in this 4 face 4 dance is you have much less interaction with the other couple that follows you down the line. You pass them in the hey to trade lines - but that is all the interaction you have with them. This dance acts more like a Becket contra except when you cross to the other line in the hey Mac ________________________________ From: Becky Nankivell <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, December 27, 2011 12:04 PM Subject: Re: [Callers] Double contra - whodunnit? Thanks, Mac. Rephrasing to make sure I understand: after the "turn 1/4", the couple you're facing would be your partner couple; the ones next to you in your line of 4 (facing the same direction in the hall) would be a couple of your neighbors, the other neighbors would be diagonally across? Are there other dances that start this way? ~ Becky Nankivell ----- Date: Mon, 26 Dec 2011 11:54:29 -0800 (PST) From: Richard Mckeever <[email protected]> To: Caller's discussion list <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [Callers] Double contra - whodunnit?
