I agree with Alan's choices, and will just add that Circle Waltz (or Family Waltz)
works very nicely to the tune Tombigbee Waltz, especially at the chassee steps.

A poll: What's your favorite waltz mixer,

For experienced English dancers:
"The Wood Duck", because of the trance-inducing match of tune and dance,
elegant flow, partner and neighbor interaction.
For everybody else:
"Circle Waltz" (Big circle, balance and roll-away 4x, with this one balance
in and out, roll in, repeat going out, chassee in, chassee out, waltz around)
or some variation, because it's so accessible, connects the whole room
repeatedly, lets you see most of the opposite-sex people in the room if only
for a fleeting moment, and works with many flavors of waltz.)
