I've been using Power Surge a lot, and it's very good with a mixed crowd.

Looking for easy, accessible, beginner-friendly
modern-day/contemporary contra dances with petronella
turns -- with
instructions (in addition to dance name and
author), if
possible. If
this has been discussed before, happy to be
pointed to
the correct
place to look in the archives. Thanks in advance
for
the help!
