A few that I dig:

Double Click (Bob Isaacs) - both roles get circulate to swing transition
Robins on a Wire (Will Mentor) - mad robin/wavy lines at center groove
Apogee (Chris Page) - both RH and LH chains, orbits for both roles
Ellie's Pumpkin Show (Bill Olson) - wavy lines at center, fractional RSR's
Heart of Joy (Chris Page) - eye-contact poussettes
The Baby Jo (Maia McCormick) - smooth lost-and-found shadow dance
Reflections (Cary Ravitz) - here be dragons! This is a 1.5x progression dance on average (alternates single and double prog), be sure you understand this one VERY WELL before attempting to call it 🙃

I have too many dances, thus unsure what to recommend.

What skill level? "Challenging" can mean very different things.

What do you think makes dances interesting?

Any particular move sets you're missing?

In dance,

Greeting callers!
I'm putting together a program of challenging contras for an upcoming gig. This is an area where I'm still developing - hooray for new horizons!
Would anyone be willing to share a favorite challenging dance or two from their repertoire?
Many thanks,
