Helo Folks,

This group has been so quiet lately.  The group has been so important for me as I developed my Contra calling repertoire and skills, so I thought I'd initiate a conversation.

As I sit here programming a dance I realize that I do not have many dances without circles.  Many that I do have, do not have a Neighbor Swing, or have a Give & Take to cheat it out.  Those factors limit where and when I can use them.

I generally like to program two no circle dances in each half, and also a NO neighbor Swing dance in at least one half if not both halves of an evening.  Any thoughts on this?

Does anyone want to share some modern contras that have no Circles and no Give & Takes, but include a partner and neighbor swing.

Here are a few I have used.
