Erik Hoffman used to call traveling squares that I always thought worked
very well.(*) He picked dances with main figures that were easy to teach,
high energy, and that quickly built up to include the entire set. He'd
offset the predictable main figure with hash-style breaks. As with pretty
much everything else, a good caller makes all the difference....

(*)Erik may well still be calling those sorts of traveling squares. I just
don't live close enough to hear him call anymore. *sad face*
