To change from a Becket dance to Reel Easy in a medley, change Reel Easy's first figure to circle left 3/4. From a counter-clockwise Becket dance, change it to
menallemande left 1+1/2.The second half of B2 can be danced as neighbors allemande right 1+1/4, walk straight forward to (A1) do-si-do the next. But I think it is more fun to allemande right 1, lean back a bit, and pull by.

The name comes from moment where the ladles courtesy turn the gentlespoons. Somewhat higher piece count than I'm usually comfortable with, but it offers a very smooth flow throughout and it doesn't have any super complicated bits.
