George, I've got a fairly easy one that can alternate ones and twos as actives and has a neighbor swing. Puce Set One (Martha Wild) Duple improper A1: 1s balance and swing A2: Down the set four in line (1s in middle), turn alone and come back up, bend the line as for a circle but B1: Peusette clockwise with partner around neighbors 1-1/2 times B2: Balance and swing your neighbor Second time for alternating: A1: 2s balance and swing A2: Up the set four in line, turn alone and go back down Rest the same. As a dancer, I actually like the openness of balancing and swinging in the center, and I like watching the flash of eyes and swish of hair and the connection of others as they swing - as long as I know I'll get my chance, which happens here. People also get a lot of partner interaction during the peusette. Of course, if I've got a real beginner crowd, and short sets, I might not confuse them with the switch-up and just do it without alternating. Though if done later in the evening a beginner crowd can usually handle it. Note that if people erroneously only go once around in the peusette it will sort itself out anyway in the neighbor B&S. Start the set a little further from the band so people can come up! Chris Page has written some very nice dances with peusette figures in them - check out his web pages.
