Re: [Callers] mixers for regular dancers not ons

There are a gazillion circle mixers. Here's one from a Danish choreographer that will work if the circle can fit nicely onto the floor and if your dancers are familiar with box the gnat / swat the flea: Disturbed by Insects (Inga Morton) mixer Formation: circle of couples, all facing counterclockwise A1 Promenade (with inside hands joined) California twirl Promenade back California twirl (then join both hands) A2 Ladies, push your partner to the center Gents, push your partner back Ladies, push your partner to the center Ladies, go back B1 With your partner box the gnat With your opposite to the left swat the flea With your opposite to the right box the gnat With your opposite to the left swat the flea B2 With your opposite to the right balance and swing Note: After each of the movements in B1, move a little away from the other person.

You can find lots more on the syllabi from the Ralph Page Dance Legacy Weekend: http://www.library.unh.edu/special/index.php/ralph-page-dance-legacy-weekend Download the Master Index-- it's a spreadsheet in Excel format-- and then go to the particular year for instructions to the dances you want. You'll find some under scatter prom, circ mixer, Sicilian mixer, and then there's always one of several versions of Ninepin, a square with an extra person in the middle. You can find one version of Ninepin here: http://squaredancehistory.vidcaster.com/FmJ4d/the-ninepin/ In this version, when the call "all the Ninepins to the center" comes, the Ninepin is joined by all the others of the same sex as the Ninepin.
