There’s this no-swing dance, which I got from https://www.cambridgefolk.org.uk/contra/dances/devils_dream.html

The Devil's Dream

Traditional

Improper Contra

A1

1s face down and lead down the centre while the 2s face up and go up the outside
all turn alone and lead back to give neighbour nearest hand and half turn neighbour
A2

1s facing down the outside and 2s up the middle: lead up or down again
you promenade in the same direction both times
all turn alone and lead back to give left hands to neighbour
B1

turn neighbour into a full ladies chain across
B2

half promenade neighbour across set
half right and left back
In CDM6 and 500 Zesty Contras
Note that this dance has no swing; however it is probably the most popular contra in English dance clubs.
