[Callers] Colonial Dances Adapted for ONS?

[Jonathan Sivier]

    I often use Jefferson's Reel (modified from Jefferson and Liberty) 
at ONS dances.  I have also used Money in Both Pockets.  This all 
assumes the crowd is up to doing duple minor dances, as opposed to whole 
set or other formations.

Jefferson's Reel
Dudley Briggs; adapted from Jefferson and Liberty
duple proper or improper; beginner

1 - Circle left
2 - Circle right
3 - Star right
4 - Star left
5 - 1's down the outside
6 - Return to place
7 - Down the hall 4 in line, 1's in the center
8 - All back up, 1's arch joined hands,
     2's duck through the arch to meet new neighbors

    Here is a modified version of Money in Both Pockets that may be OK 
for a ONS.

Money in Both Pockets
Orace Johnson
duple proper or improper
Adapted from the chestnut contra

A1 - 1's do-si-do as a couple with 2nd Lady (1-4),
      Circle left 3 hands round (5-8) (1's and 2nd Lady)
A2 - 1's do the same with 2nd man (1-8)
B1 - Down the hall 4 in line, 1's in the center, turn alone (1-4),
      Return and bend the line to a circle (5-8)
B2 - Circle left (1-4),
      Star left (5-8)
