Welcome, Keith! I think you'll find this list to be a helpful source of ideas
and support.
A couple of moves you include, I wouldn't think
about calling for college
beginners until I see they've mastered 4-5 simpler
dances.
Can you be more specific about which figures are giving you pause? Haste to the
Wedding, for example, is a dance that I've called for years in lots of settings.
The elementary school where I taught used to include it as part of our annual
May festival, with 300-400 children, teachers, parents all dancing around the
town green.
