I have a big circle mixer I really like, I'm not sure who wrote it or the name of it,
perhaps if someone else recognizes it they can help me out there. I just call it the
Balance and Pass mixer so I know what it is.
A1) Balance and Swing Partner
A2) Promenade for 8, Twirl Promenade for eight. (See explanation below)
B1) Balance your partner, pass by the next,
Balance the next, pass by the next,
B2) Balance the next, pass by the next
Do si do the next, (this is your new partner)
The promenade is for 8 counts in Varsovienne position, at which point the man raises his
right hand and the woman twirls beneath his hand as they continue moving forward for
another 8 counts, ending with the woman facing around the circle in the opposite direction
from the man, with their right hands still joined. For the balances, start with your
partner balance, then pull by partner and walk past the next person you meet. Balance the
next, pull by and skip one again, repeat, then finally do-si-do the one you meet.
It's a fun and energetic dance, people usually get it quickly.
I also wrote a big circle mixer inspired by one of Ted Sanella's, and it works pretty
well:
Ted's Waves
A1) Forward and back
Women go forward, return facing out to form a wave, partner in right hand
A2) Balance the wave, allemande partner 1X
Balance the wave, allemande left neighbor 1X
B1) Do si do partner
Swing the same neighbor
B2) Promenade the set

I use EZ's mixer for any event - great for ONS to introduce moves without
teaching...?
esp for weddings and well, community events.

Two of my favorites are:
*Esmerelda's Revenge* -- Beth Parkes Mixer
*A1*Forward and Back
All go forward, gents back up (ladies stay in the middle)
to have a ring of ladies inside the ring of gents
*A2*Ladies turn Left, Gents turn Right
single file Promenade around the ring
Everyone turn back
look for your partner -- last one you swung
*B1*P DsD
N Alle L 1x
*B2*Pass P**by**R
Swing the next (new Partner)
*Ease About Mixer *-- Gene Hibert (var. by Cis Hinkle)Mixer
*A1*B&S
*A2*Promenade
As a couple swoop into center and back
*B1*Ladies weave the ring -- in front, behind, between
Ring forward and back
*B2*Gents weave the ring -- in front, behind, between
Original P Alle L 1? to new partner
? ? ? ? ? ? Note: Once you meet your original Partner, look past them
to see who your new partner is.? For some reason there is frequent
disorientation when getting out of the allemande and trying to find new
partner**

Here is a very simple mixer.? On a wood floor a two hand swing would be better.? I
adapted this from a dance called by Steve Holland.

I'd love to add a few more mixers to my repertoire.? Which ones do you like for
beginning groups or for early in the evening?? And do you have some that more advanced
groups can enjoy?

I believe this works so well because there is not a new prompt? for
each phrase - only four items or calls...(treating dosado/swing as a
single action with a new partner.)

regarding to calling a CC BY-NC dance at a paid
event: is it in fact noncommercial use?
Sounds commercial to me. The text from the license is:
"You may not exercise any of the rights granted to You in Section 3
above in any manner that is primarily intended for or directed toward
commercial advantage or private monetary compensation." --
http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/legalcode
I think the relevant right would be to "Publicly Perform the Work".
You're getting paid to call, so "directed toward private monetary
compensation" sounds applicable.

I do not think Dan is correct that dance
choreography is not copyrightable.
Dan, I don't know where you got that information, but nothing I know about
copyright law gives me that impression. I guess you could argue that
contra dances are not sufficiently "original," but the standard for
originality is so low in copyright law that I don't think that would be a
winning argument, or even close to it.
I read more about this, and it looks like a social dance might not
qualify as a "dramatic work".
On the other hand, if your dance is not a ?dramatic work? because it
is not a choreographic show, does not tell a story or is not part of a
dramatic performance, it is not protected.

They conclude "In our view, it is unlikely that social dances will be
protected by copyright."
