[Callers] Re: dances in that space between community and beginners

Hello Callers Last Saturday I found myself at a dance that had a large number of first time dancers (50+) and a fair number of experienced dancers. This is a fascinating place to be - more than Galopede, but pre-Chain in teaching. Family Contra by Sherry Nevins is the canonical dance. ( https://www.ibiblio.org/contradance/thecallersbox/dance.php?id=10422) I was inspired to come up with 3 others. Have you seen any of these before? Are they simply re-writes of existing dances?
