I am not familiar with this dance - but if you are on the same side of the set as your partner - a shadow cannot be located on the other side - so they will be on the same side somewhere to your right or left.

If you are next to your partner in becket where is your "shadow" in relation to you? Is he next to you on the side or across from you your Nbr? Can't seem to figure this out. Help please. Thanks.

I started it at your B1 for an end-of-tune rogression (as Mark noted).

It looks like it has nice flow, have you called it to live dancers yet? Mark Widmer p.s. I notice it could also start at B1 (as a duple improper dance that progresses in the expected place), or at A2 (as a Becket dance that ends with a partner swing).
