I often use Jefferson's Reel (modified from Jefferson and Liberty) at ONS dances. I have also used Money in Both Pockets. This all assumes the crowd is up to doing duple minor dances, as opposed to whole set or other formations. Jefferson's Reel Dudley Briggs; adapted from Jefferson and Liberty duple proper or improper; beginner 1 - Circle left 2 - Circle right 3 - Star right 4 - Star left 5 - 1's down the outside 6 - Return to place 7 - Down the hall 4 in line, 1's in the center 8 - All back up, 1's arch joined hands, 2's duck through the arch to meet new neighbors Here is a modified version of Money in Both Pockets that may be OK for a ONS. Money in Both Pockets Orace Johnson duple proper or improper Adapted from the chestnut contra A1 - 1's do-si-do as a couple with 2nd Lady (1-4), Circle left 3 hands round (5-8) (1's and 2nd Lady) A2 - 1's do the same with 2nd man (1-8) B1 - Down the hall 4 in line, 1's in the center, turn alone (1-4), Return and bend the line to a circle (5-8) B2 - Circle left (1-4), Star left (5-8) Jonathan ----- Jonathan Sivier Caller of Contra, Square, English and Early American Dances jsivier AT illinois DOT edu Dance Page: http://www.sivier.me/dance_leader.html ----- Q: How many angels can dance on the head of a pin?

I'm always hesitant to include dances with swings in a ONS. Sometimes it can work, but it very much depends on the group. Besides he was asking about Colonial dances that have been simplified for non-dancers. Throwing a swing in makes a dance more challenging for non-dancers and definitely not Colonial in flavor.
