I think many of these have been posted before. This is an example of what I've done
with our
Wheat Scout's program. typically younger Kids (not preadolescence) and their parents
at a family dance.
The "Blob" dance
Patty Cake Polka - hell and toe polka
Big Circle for little kids (I think this was in the White Mt. Reel book)
Portland Fancy (same book)
Family Contra - Sherry Nevin
Moons and Stars (Lisa Greenleaf, I believe)
I've also used the hat dance? I use a feather or something like that.
I have Sashay the Donut referenced for upper elementary
Seth Tepfer wrote Family Contra in the Castle
Rick Gross also has family dances to share.

Subject: [Callers] Family dances
I'm calling my first family dance tonight and I haven't been able to coordinate
with the band on music for specific dances.
What are your favorite family dances that do not have a specific tune to go with them?
I'll be looking through my books, but could use some suggestions.
Thanks!
Chris
