Some that I like: Jim's Whim var. by Rich McMath || improper (Smooth and English-y) A1: N gypsy; N swing A2: long lines; LH star 1x (hands across) B1: ladies drop out, gents alle. L to P and swing B2: circle L 3/4; square thru 3 hands* * pull by NR, PL, NR and look for new N on side. (At start of this move, 1s below the 2s w/ lady on R—i.e. to progress, all must swap with P and face other direction.) Love at First Swing by Bob Isaacs || improper (Lots of physical connection to other dancers, so the unfamiliar-to-beginners move of right hand high/left hand low is pretty easy to pick up) A1: bal. ring and spin R (2x) A2: bal. ring and CA twirl (w/ P); NEW N swing B1: circle L 3/4; P swing (end facing down) B2: down the hall, #2 gent turn ladies R hand high & L hand low (#1 gent on L turn alone); up the hall & bend the line Cranky Ingenuity by Bill Olson || improper (I'm pretty sure everyone knows this one but I would be remiss in not mentioning this one: a very easy dance, suitable for a hall full of beginners, with an out-of-the-box move.) A1: circle L 1x; do-si-do Ns as couple A2: do-si-do N individually; N swing B1: gents alle. L 1 1/2 ; P swing B2: circle L 3/4; bal. ring & CA twirl Maliza's Magical Mystery Motion by Cary Ravitz || becket, CCW (Extra spin on petronella, still very accessible if you teach it right.) A1: gents alle. L 1 1/2; N swing A2: w/ N, prom. across; ladies chain to P B1: bal. ring and spin right TO FACE NEW N's* with new N's, bal. ring and spin right B2: P b&s * if out at the ends, come back in on wrong side (i.e. lady on L) California Twirlin' by Janet Levatin || improper (opt. 2x prog) (Very connected and rhythmic, so hard to get lost.) A1: bal. ring, CA twirl w/ P, face back in bal. ring, CA twirl w/ N, face back in A2: bal. ring, CA twirl w/ P to face new Ns; this N swing B1: circle L 3/4; P swing B2: ladies chain; long lines, on way back gent roll N lady* * omit the rollaway for a double progression. If rollaway, next A1 starts in a ring w/ N you just rolled. Melody's Madness by David Glick || improper (Rory spin to a swing wheee!) A1: N b&s A2: ladies pull by R to alle. P L 3/4 ; alle. shadow R 1 1/2 → long waves (ladies face out) B1: bal. & spin R (as in Rory O'Moore); P swing B2: circle L 3/4; N do-si-do 1 1/2 to next Ron Blechner's Ants Marching <http://contradances.tumblr.com/post/10510984149/ants-marching> is another one I really like--a pretty damn unique use of "down the hall four in line" but a highly connected one, and therefore pretty easy to pick up. Rollin' on the River <http://contra.maiamccormick.com/dances.html#rollinontheriver> by Maia McCormick || improper (One of mine with some fun rollaway stuff that I don't see often--I remember a similar figure in Du Quoin Races <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a67HXJ5JXDs>, which is GREAT but not "easy" by any stretch.) A1: neighbor alle. L 1 1/2; ladies chain across A2: in hands-4 AWAY from partner (with shadow), circle L 1/2 (4) and roll shadow (gent roll lady) (4) circle L 1/2 (4) and roll shadow (lady roll gent) (4) B1: partner b&s B2: ladies gypsy L 1 1/2 neighbor alle.
