For an easy one, I like Al's Advice by Paul Tyler. However, my favorite out of minor
set dance is Gene Hubert's Reunion. I can't ever dance that one enough!

You can start with dances where you see a next
neighbor briefly but
return to your first neighbor:
Sneak Preview (Claudio Buchwald)
Poetry in Motion (Lisa Greenleaf)
Stripes and Solids (Lisa Greenleaf)
Mary Cay's Reel (David Kaynor)
Or dances where you see a shadow briefly but return to your partner:
Another Nice Combination (Tom Hinds)
Summer of '94 (Mike Richardson (Lisa Greenleaf variation))
Then you can be with your shadow for a while longer:
Chrysalis (Don Flaherty) - hey with your shadow, meet your partner
Balance to My Lou (Becky Hill) - one of the many from the petronella
with extra spin genre
Or with your next neighbor for a while longer:
Traveler's Welcome (Jim Kitch) - reasonably easy progressions forward
and backward and forward
Or see lots of neighbors:
Vote with Your Feet (Bob Isaacs) - becket, so it's not as confusing
for dancers out at the end

Here are two:

A1 N B&S
A2 Circle L 3/4, pass partner -- shadow DsD 1x
B1 P B&S
B2 Ladies Chain, Left Hand Star
You're just barely out of your minor set, and it's generally the same
person. Also, if they miss it, they can just wander around somewhere for 8
beats and then B&S their partner.
Becky's Brouhaha - Rhiannon (Giddens) Laffan
A1 N Bal and Box the Gnat, Pull by R, (Previous N) Allemande L
A2 (Current) N B&S
B1 Circle L 3/4, P Sw
B2 Ladies Chain, Left Hand Star
As far as the dance goes, similar reasoning to ANC. Also, the dance was
written as a birthday present for my wife by her best friend, so it has a
personal connection too. ;-)

Hi Folks,
I was wondering if anyone had relatively 'easy on the brain' 'out of your
minor set' dances???
Here in Ottawa (Ontario), dancers aren't used to leaving their minor
set/partner to go dance with other. I'd like to try a few really great
dances with this feature but they need to have a high success rate for a
room of folks not used to this feature of some contras.
Any ideas and if so, why did you choose that dance????
Much thanks!
Emily Addison
