As many have said, much depends on HOW a band plays a tune, but I do often like rags for dances with contra corners.

I’ve never experienced  a contra dance The  band has  chosen to play for a dance work. It doesn’t work for the dancers and it’s agonizing for the caller. 

Can anyone suggest a dance that could fit? At this point I’m planning to request they don’t include the tune. 

I know there’s an English dance written to match but not interested in that for this set.
