One of my favorites, but it not easy to teach is There is No Way To Peace; Peace is the Way by Erik Hoffman:

And, although *I* don't think it's hard, this dance has two new moves:

Gold Star Wednesday by Dale Wilson, (2012)

...because good days deserve gold stars, and Wednesday was a great Day!
Contra improper

A1  Neighbor Balance & Swing
A2 Right hand star 3 places; Invert the star(see the note below)
      Left hand star
B1 Gents loop right around neighbor (behind) then cross. Meet partner
      Ladies follow gent’s path around the loop but don’t cross.  Meet Partner.
      Partner Swing
B2 Circle left 3 places; Circle Balance; California Twirl


Notes   Identify Gent's Home place before start of dance.
Both stars end with the gent in his home place.

Invert the star means:
      Gents reach across their body (over the old star) with their free (left) hand
        to their neighbor who is behind them.  Ladies take gent's hand with their free (left) hand.
      Let go of the original star.  Make an arch.
      Gents step back slightly to allow ladies to step thru the arch.
       Joined left hands come down into LH Star.

Hello all! I'll be calling a session of challenging contras at a dance weekend next month, and find myself lacking in the aforementioned challenging contras. I want to keep the session balanced, with a mix of dances that are mind-bending or heavily technical as well as some dances that are a step or so below that but that still have something interesting or unique. Would any of you be so kind as to share some of your favorite challenging dances? Thank you in advance!
