Let me try this again.  Coal Country Contra by Ron Buchanan

A1:  women Rh pull across, neighbor Allemand left 1.5, men alm R 1.5

A2:  partner balance and swing

B1:  R&L thru, partner rollaway(W rolls left), men Dosado (and men stand still in place)

B2:  women Dosado and walk behind her partner to stand on his right side (progression CCW), lines forward and back (adjusting to face new couple across)

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 looking for sturdy, hard-to-break, low-piece-count dances.  In a perfect world they'd be composed of simpler glossary figures.

This perfect becket that I'm looking for should _not_ start with circle L 3/4, and should not contain petronella twirls.  Bonus points if it doesn't have a whole hey, since I've already got a couple of whole hey dances in the list.
