Re: [Callers] easy ONS dances where partner is kept?

Try La Bastringue, and just dosido and swing partner each time   a1 center and back twice a2 circle left, circle right b1 dosido partner, 2 hand turn partner b2 promenade partner   if you have the music for it that would be great, but is not necessary,   Dave Colestock harrisburg, pa www.davecolestock.com --- On Sat, 3/19/11, Tina Fields <tfields8(a)yahoo.com> wrote: From: Tina Fields <tfields8(a)yahoo.com> Subject: [Callers] easy ONS dances where partner is kept? To: "callers@ sharedweight.net" <callers(a)sharedweight.net> Date: Saturday, March 19, 2011, 8:20 PM Hi o esteemed community of callers - I'm going to call a big father-daughter dance for the Girl Scouts next month. (It's called "Me and My Cowboy; how cute is that?!) In preparing, I realize that most of the supremely easy dances I know are mixers. While this is usually great, these girls are likely not going to want to partner up with other girls' dads, but instead keep their own dad. They'll also enjoy partnering with each other, especially for the goofier dances. But I still seek delightful and very easy ONS dances wherein the dancers keep their partners. I already have a lot of galloping longways set dances like Galopede, Weaver's Galopede, Four Around Four, & White Mountain Reel. I also have Do-Si-Three (thanks, Linda Leslie!) and Jefferson & Liberty. I mostly seek a variety of calmer (but still fun) ones so the dads can rest up a bit while still dancing, and a couple of circle dances that aren't mixers, if they exist. A few more easy Sicilians would also be welcome. Do your repertoires include these? What are your favorites? Will you share? Thank you! Tina ******************************* Tina R.
