Hi Chris,
The dance that comes immediately to mind is David Kaynor's "Cherokee
Shuffle,"
written to accompany that tune.You can find it here:

There's a video on YouTube of three very hot guitar flatpickers playing Cherokee
Shuffle:

You could try out the calls to that tune to see how the timing works for you.
Just out of curiosity, what's the tune that your band is eager to play?
