for a few dances that are
particularly playful, quirky, silly....something that typically gets the

Some examples would be "Over the Hill and Still Chased" with the lady
round two/gent cut through figure, or Beneficial Tradition when the
dancers throw their free arm up and shout "Wooo!"
You get the idea. What are your favorites?

"Pirates Across The Atlantic" by Andrea Nettleton has a figure-8 chase
move at the start that's based on the English dance "Dancing Across The
Atlantic." The floor always gets really goofy when I call that one. It
has the double advantage of being a nice solid contra dance as well as
having a silly bit. It's not just a gimmick with a couple of swings
stuck to it.
