Re: [Callers] favourite easy 'out of minor set' dances???

I have a lot of success with Another Nice Combination by Tom Hinds. The original starts with a gypsy and swing, but I find a Balance & swing more to my liking. Because your shadow is the person outside of the minor set, it is a great way to have folks experience the movement, but to see the same person. Here's the dance: Another Nice Combination Tom Hinds Type: Contra Formation: Duple-Improper Level: Easy A1 ----------- Neighbor gypsy & swing (or Balance & swing) A2 ----------- Circle left three-quarters (face partner) Pass through up and down Do si do shadow B1 ----------- Partner Balance & Swing B2 ----------- Ladies chain Star left once* Notes: *When out at the ends, change places right away to be ready for your shadow! Another useful one, great for newer dancers: New Year's Day by Paul Balliet Contra/Improper/Easy A1 ----------- Long lines forward and back Gents do si do once A2 ----------- Ladies allemande left once and a half Partner Swing B1 ----------- Circle left three-quarters, pass through Next (future) neighbor gypsy right once B2 ----------- Original (present) neighbor Balance and Swing Good luck!
