Hi Jeff,
I like Ladies Star by Tony Parkes
A1 Ladies L hand star, allemande R partner 1 1/2
A2 Gents L hand star, allemande R partner 1 1/2
B1 Corners balance and swing
B2 Promenade your corner (your new partner) to gent's home place
The traditional Nine-Pin square should be fun at a house party, but
you probably won't have room to gallop--the first figure. You could
change that. (Maybe head (sides) promenade around the square.) The
second figure is head (sides) circle L and R around the nine-pin.
Then the nine-pin dancer swings one person in turn from each couple
while their partner heads to the center of the square. Then the music
stops and people scramble to find a partner.
Irish sets are fun for kitchens too!

I'm looking for some squares to learn to do at
house parties. The
dancers would probably be contra dancers who haven't done many
squares, but squares work a lot better in kitchens. Easy stuff that
wouldn't need to be walked would be best. Looking online (probably
not in the right places) I'm mostly finding pretty complicated squares
or ones with lots of easy-for-square-dancer stuff like "separate, go
around two". Any suggestions?
