A medley pair with one forward and one reverse progression dance, careful
counting or observation to end everyone back where they started.
Total Equality by Andrew Swain is pretty much built for role chaos even if
you try to avoid it.
There's a 28 bar dance called Bar Crawl that is meant to be danced to 32
bar tunes.

I have the pleasure this year of calling the Knoxville
contra dance on
Monday, April 1st ... occasionally remembered as April Fools Day.
I'm taking the approach of exploring the spirit of the Fool -- challenging
our assumptions and traditions and reminding us to smile, in spite of
ourselves if necessary. In choosing/crafting my program, I'm looking for a
balance of different and fun, of course.
What foolish dances have you done in the past?

P.S. Here's my "concept" list:
* Reverse progression ("which way is up?")
* Contra mixer ("who needs a partner?")
* Left/Lark chain ("why do Robins chain and Larks allemand?")
* 3 face 3 formations ("what's a partner?")
* Crooked tunes ("why is everything 64 beats?)
* No swing ("how far can I go before the dancers burn me at the stake?")
