Bi-Coastal Marriage

Beckett, double progression

A1	Ladies chain on left diagonal (8) Ladies chain on right diagonal (to their trail buddy #1) (8)
A2	Hey-for-four across (16) (Ladies start passing right shoulders)
B1	Left hand star (8) Allemande right once and a half with next neighbor up and down (trail buddy #2) (8)

This dance, written for Elaine Miller and Aaron Stambler, is a variation on themes explored in Gene Hubert's "The Reunion" and Jeffrey Spero's "With Respect to Gene." In this dance the only time you are with your partner is for the balance and swing, the rest of the time is spent "travelling".
