Here's one. Six Hand Reel. The version I know goes
Circle of six, gents to left of their partners.
A1 Circle left and right
A2 Hands across right hand star then left hand star
B1 Couple whose hands are joined lowest, gent pulls (new) partner under and through for a
swing, then middles, then top
B2 Promenade the circle
I gave it in standard contra phrases, but you might choose to do it unphrased with new
dancers.

I am calling a dance this Friday night for a small
town in Florida that is
trying to start a contra dance series in their community hall. I have
several ONS-type dances that I use for weddings, but what I don't have is
very very easy dances for low numbers. This is their first event so we
could see 5 or 6 people. I need to make sure they have fun or it will be
the end of their dreams of a contra community! I've looked at Ted's
Triplets, but they are too complex for a group that has never contra danced
before. What are suggestions for ultra easy ONS-type dances that would
also work for very low numbers?
