Hi, The French, or French Canadian, quadrille "The Carding" is easy and fun if the band will play a reel with a good strong beat (but not too fast) on the end of the phrase (4 1/2 x through). I got it from Dudley Laufman's book "Sweets of May". It's nice because you don't have to fuss trying to get an even four couples per square. An individual with a ghost partner can even fit in fine. The simple version Sweets of May (not the quadrille which is fun but too complicated) goes well to a jig if the crowd can move reasonably well. The Irish Bridge of Athlone simplified (forward and back and cross over instead of the 7s & 3s) is one of my favorites. I agree with Martha that the simplified LaBastringue is always an upper if the band knows the music, and the original version is fun for more experienced dancers too (as a dancer) The Irish Haymaker's Jig is fun but having danced it with a friend calling the more Irish version I'd suggest simplifying the first part to just forward and back. The rest is do-able and fun with a lively crowd. Summer Cheers, Sue Robishaw P.S. Let me know if you need the steps to any.
