Linda,
Here is a very SIMPLE dance that I almost always use as the first dance
with K-3 children. I often use CL 8, CR 8, ... instead of CL 16, but often
it takes a while to get youngsters moving so CL 16 is fine. I learned this
dance from Cal Campbell, and is the best at getting dancers dancing to the
phrase.

Linda,
Chimes of Dunkirk is a great dance for tying the music to the dance.
Also Heel & Toe Polka.
Is there a dance that changes from 2/4 or 4/4 to 6/8? I know I've danced
one but I cannot recall it.
I might suggest talking about the types of music we use in traditional
dance and maybe talk about a particular tune and its origins.

Although I've been calling forever and I know
things, I'm not currently
inspired to do this and am asking for help.
Been hired to lead a dance for a music school -- ages 5 and up to teens
and their parents and my contact asked if I could lead "dances that
encourage really paying attention to beat counts….throw in some music
education in addition to fun."
So I'll do my standard ONS dances for this group to recorded music that
has very good beat counts and distinct phrasing. That's not the problem.
The problem is *"throw in some music education." *I don't need a
dissertation, just bits and pieces. The dance is only 1-1/2 hours long
followed by ice cream.
I've got a job that keeps me pretty busy and am training for a new job
that's taking up a lot of my time and I just can't think anymore.
Any suggestions?
