<p>Here's one of mine. Low piece count, promenade to chain is good
flow. (I never totally love the "chain, look for new neighbors"
because you either have to bail out of the courtesy turn to face
new neighbor or complete the turn (now facing partner) and turn
away to new neighbor, but it's common enough that it works.<br>
</p>
<p>I think this really is easy enough for your busload of
beginners. Low piece count, don't have to identify the neighbor
who's dancing with your partner (like many oval dances). It does
have a chain; sorry about that.<br>

<br>
Form:IC Fig:NB&S;OvalL&R;BTR,PS;Prom,WC:<br>
<br>
A1: Neighbor balance and swing<br>
A2: Big Oval left and right<br>
B1: 1-2: With hands, balance ring in original foursome <br>
(keep the hand you've got with neighbor and take the free
hand with your<br>
partner)<br>
3-8: Ravens/ladies draw Partners to their side for a swing.<br>
B2: 1-4: Partners promenade to gents/larks side<br>
5-8: Ladies/Ravens chain to current neighbor, look for new
neighbor</p>
<p> [But if you really don't want a chain even in the good
flow from promenade situation, ladies/ravens allemand R 1.5 to new
neighbor, which may be preferable given the courtesy turn problem
mentioned above]<br>

<div dir="ltr">Yep, Alex, I totally agree on the point of
promenade (or RL thru, or ladies' chain) > circle L not
flowing great! So I'm amending my original criteria: <b>dances
with a promenade, no chain or RL thru, and promenade is NOT
followed by a circle L</b>.

<div dir="auto">I find that there aren’t many dances
with a Promenade or RL that are NOT followed by a
circle left. When Dancing promenades to circle lefts,
I don’t like them as an experienced dancer because
they don’t feel good and as a caller I watch new
dancers struggle with them because they don’t flow
logically unless the dancers correct for it (which one
won’t know how to do unless they’ve been dancing a
very long time and are attuned to momentum.) </div>
