Dummer Reel (5 people in a circle)
Horse’s Bransle (8 people in a horseshoe shape)
Cornish 6 Hand Reel (3 couples in a line facing down the room)
Twelve Meet (4 lots of 3 in a square – not the original name for the
dance but I can’t remember what it is)
From the barn dance side, Scatter Promenade always goes down well, as
does Dashing White Sergeant (3 facing 3).
If you don’t count them as contras, Sicilian Circles feel like contra
but without the end effects.
Hope this helps.

Hi
I'm doing a workshop on dances "outside the box" (ie, no squares or
contras).
Anyone have any interesting dances for contra dancers that fit the
criteria?
I have Tom Hinds "Hexitation" and several triplets, a Zia and a
Tempest, and have looked through the Ralph Page weekend glossary, but
I'm wondering if you were doing a workshop like this, what would be
your top pick of a dance?
Thanks
Donna Hunt
