Greg, that last one is a fun idea—pretty similar to my
dance My
Partner's Partner
<https://contra.maiamccormick.com/dances.html#mypartnerspartner> (written
for Harris Lapiroff at American Week 2023), which I'll probably be
calling at my session!
Thanks for all of these ideas, folks!

Hi Maia,
Looking forward to your NEFFA session! I did one like this with
Chris Riccioti a few years back. For my faves, I will break these
down into 3 categories:
Crowd favorites (often called, suitable for all at NEFFA):
Dance All Night - Rick Mohr
Coconut Cream Pie - Lynn Ackerson
My favorites to call - (suitable at NEFFA, although some are more
challenging):
Petrozilla - Marty Fager
Blackberry Cobbler Quadrille - Seth Tepfer
Fast Living - David Kirchner
My personal favorites to dance (generally pretty challenging)
The Danish Loom - Linda Leslie
Constellation - Yoyo Zhou
Circulate 8 - Bob Isaacs
And finally, for something a little different:
Polyamity
[Note: "Line buddies" are defined as persons of the opposite role
who is part of one's line of four]
A1: Lines of 4 forward and back, opposite larks (up and down the
set) allemande Left 1 1/2;
A2: Opposites balance and swing, all face center;
B1: Robins grand chain to line buddy, courtesy turn to face across
(everyone will be facing their partner across), pass the ocean to
waves of four (robins in center taking left hands, line buddies
taking right hands at the outside), balance the wave forward and back;
B2: Robins allemande left, line buddies (new partners) swing.
Only the larks will swap places with each progression. To make it
a more standard 4x4 progression, have the robins allemande left 1
1/2 in B2.

What it says on the tin—I want more four-face-fours in my
collection (not least because I’m calling a session of them at
NEFFA 😅), drop your favorites here! Accepting recommendations
of any difficulty level.
Thanks all!
