Greg, that last one is a fun idea—pretty similar to my dance My Partner's
Partner <https://contra.maiamccormick.com/dances.html#mypartnerspartner>
(written
for Harris Lapiroff at American Week 2023), which I'll probably be calling
at my session!
Thanks for all of these ideas, folks!

Hi Maia,
Looking forward to your NEFFA session! I did one like this with Chris
Riccioti a few years back. For my faves, I will break these down into 3
categories:
Crowd favorites (often called, suitable for all at NEFFA):
Dance All Night - Rick Mohr
Coconut Cream Pie - Lynn Ackerson
My favorites to call - (suitable at NEFFA, although some are more
challenging):
Petrozilla - Marty Fager
Blackberry Cobbler Quadrille - Seth Tepfer
Fast Living - David Kirchner
My personal favorites to dance (generally pretty challenging)
The Danish Loom - Linda Leslie
Constellation - Yoyo Zhou
Circulate 8 - Bob Isaacs
And finally, for something a little different:
Polyamity
[Note: "Line buddies" are defined as persons of the opposite role who is
part of one's line of four]
A1: Lines of 4 forward and back, opposite larks (up and down the set)
allemande Left 1 1/2;
A2: Opposites balance and swing, all face center;
B1: Robins grand chain to line buddy, courtesy turn to face across
(everyone will be facing their partner across), pass the ocean to waves of
four (robins in center taking left hands, line buddies taking right hands
at the outside), balance the wave forward and back;
B2: Robins allemande left, line buddies (new partners) swing.
Only the larks will swap places with each progression. To make it a more
standard 4x4 progression, have the robins allemande left 1 1/2 in B2.

What it says on the tin—I want more
four-face-fours in my collection (not
least because I’m calling a session of them at NEFFA 😅), drop your
favorites here! Accepting recommendations of any difficulty level.
Thanks all!
