Something new perhaps? I wrote this recently, trying to avoid the ubiquitous half figure 8 figure:
It's Good to be Number Two
Duple, Proper
A1: Second corners balance LH and swat the flea (8), and allemande left once or twice (8);
A2: Partners meltdown swing (16), end facing across;
B1: Balance the ring and petronella (8), neighbors swing (8), end facing across;
B2: Balance the ring (4), gents roll their neighbors away with a half sashay (4), twos (ONLY!) swing (8), end facing new ones.
Title is a little sardonic. If you want, you could call it Composition 156. I also second QuiAnn2's endorsement of Indigo Silk.

Hi,
I've been assigned the opening slot at this year's 2019 New England Folk Festival (NEFFA) for my session:
"Keepin' It Proper Contras - It's not all about improper contras! Dances from times past to the present set in a proper form."
Soooo... what proper dances have you found to be particular favorites with dancers and amenable in a large hall "some experience" (non-advanced dancer) setting? I'd appreciate your suggestions.
Thanks,
Don
