Does anyone have any recommendations, for silly fun called/led<br>
dances/figures/games for a family dance that has lots of young kids and<br>
perhaps not enough adults joining in the mix?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>

Traffic Jam. (I haven't called this, but here's notation shared by other people on mailing lists. )<br>
<br>
TRAFFIC JAM<br>
<br>
Random singletons - no partner<br>
<br>
(via Barb Kirchner)<br>
<br>
<br>
A1: clap 3x, stamp 3x, walk 4 steps<br>
<br>
repeat<br>
<br>
(it's fun to face people when you do clap/stamp, then walk off and face<br>
<br>
somebody else)<br>
<br>
<br>
A2: eight sliding steps to the right, eight slides back to the left<br>
<br>
<br>
B1: make circles of any size, circle left, circle right<br>
<br>
<br>
B2: break circles, promenade in lines<br>
<br>
<br>
====<br>
<br>
TRAFFIC JAM (John Krumm)<br>
<br>
via David Millstone<br>
<br>
no partners needed at start<br>
<br>
any standard reel, played AB<br>
<br>
(or just done AA then done again to the BB)<br>
<br>
<br>
Dancers stand individually anywhere on the floor to start.<br>
<br>
<br>
BASIC TRAFFIC JAM<br>
<br>
A Clap clap clap; Stamp stamp stamp; Walk - 2 - 3 - 4 (repeat all this)<br>
<br>
<br>
B Sashay across the hall for 8 counts; Reverse<br>
<br>
<br>
You try to go in a straight line, but avoiding collisions. "Reverse" doesn't<br>
<br>
mean go exactly back where you started, but rather change directions. Do this<br>
<br>
half a dozen times or so, then move into...<br>
<br>
<br>
IMTERMEDIATE TRAFFIC JAM<br>
<br>
<br>
Turn around, quick! Find someone standing there and stand in front of them.<br>
<br>
That's your buddy. On the clapping part, instead of clapping your own hands,<br>
<br>
you and your partner clap both hands together with each other. On the walking,<br>
<br>
you just hold closer hand and walk four steps with your partner. On the sashay,<br>
<br>
you hold both hands and gallop sideways (in the same direction!), still trying<br>
<br>
to avoid collisions with other couples. Do this variation a few times, then<br>
<br>
move into...<br>
<br>
<br>
ADVANCED TRAFFIC JAM<br>
<br>
<br>
Same as above, except that on the "reverse" caller says "Switch" and you find a<br>
<br>
different partner for the sashay back.<br>
<br>
"Sasha" is really popular around here, needs a specific tune.<br>
<br>
Hope this helps!<br>
<br>
