hook: ladles courtesy turn the gentlespoons; progress indecent
by: Koren Wake
formation: Becket
Have dancers note direction of progression before circling left 1 place into Becket formation. This progresses to the left but is not intuitive.
| A1 | 8 | ladles chain (to neighbor)
|
| 8 | partners right hand balance & box the gnat across the set
| |
| A2 | 8 | right left through (ladles courtesy turn this same neighbor gentlespoon)
|
| 8 | gentlespoons start a half hey - rights in center, lefts on ends - exactly half, then turn away to progress ⁋
| |
| B1 | 16 | neighbors balance & swing (this is a new neighbor)
|
| B2 | 8 | gentlespoons allemande left 1½
|
| 8 | partners swing
|
Wait out with gentlespoons on the right, ladles on the left. Progression is not entirely intuitive but the dance works well if taught carefully. Dancers who swap roles may find it more challenging.
