Hi, all - and Happy Thanksgiving next week!
I'm working with a group of somewhat new callers to possibly call a medley in December
for a group of average dancers. I'm hoping you all can suggest one you already know is
easy to call and flows well from one dance to the next, minimizing confusion on the floor
and among the callers. We need 3-4 dances that work well together. I have called in a
medley team before, but never actually composed the medley.
We're slowly building community skill!
Thanks for any suggestions.

I often do something like this:
You can get there from here
A nice combination or the Baby Rose
Old Elixir #2 (it’s like Tica Tica but with a promenade instead of a RL thru
Butter
The first time through on old elixir, you call Neighbor balance and swing and the next
time through you do the circle.
