traditional

B2 N DSD, clap twice, pass thru
Called this Saturday at the Common Ground Fair. People constantly coming in and leaving, no learning curve, maybe 100-150 dancing at a time. I'd guess something like 80% first time dancers. Biggest problem is dancers don't listen during the walk thru and even
though you say "when you pop out at the top or bottom of the set, DO NOT run down to the other end of the set to find new neighbors,. Just face the dance and wait!" Invariably some do that, but it usually corrects itself.

Subject: [Callers] Most-Easiest Duple Minors in existence
Hello hive mind.
What are the absolute easiest duple minor dances you know? I know:
Title: Family Contra
Author: Sherry Nevins
A1: Balance 2x; Circle left (8)
A2: Balance 2x; Circle right (8)
B1: Neighbor DSD (8); Partner DSD (8)
B2: As couple, neighbor DSD 1.5 (16)
What other dances do you have that are duple minor and just as easy to teach to people who have never danced before? No swing needed!
Thanks
