Note that right and left diagonal relative to the the do-si-dos are just within
the foursome, not like the couple left diagonal. I should probably have edited

Hi Kalia,
I see you have loads of responses already! Here are a few easy ones
from my files that I believe meet your criteria:

Contra; Becket (CW)

necessarily new dancers, so the first may be too family dance oriented.

I suggest Coal Country Contra by Ron Buchanan. It has a right-and-left thru.

Hi Kalia,
I have a Becket contra dance I’ve used at Community dances that is very
forgiving, yet has interesting movement. The only name I have for it is Luke
Donev’s ONS Becket.

Partner Swing
A2 Lo
Here are two Becket dances which are somewhat unusual but still easy to
call and robust to dance. These might be considered a "step up" for a
beginner caller - something to grow into from straight glossary material -
requiring a more thought out walk-through/teach.

This is my go-to ending dance, and I love it. It does, however, start
with the dread circle left

Hi all,
I'm re-vamping my list of simple contra dances for new callers, and am
in search of a very particular sort of becket dance. The list is one of
my hand-outs for callers' classes at camps, so the folks who'll be using
it are likely to be nervous, brand-new callers. To that end, I'm
