One overall suggestion is to get a copy of "21 Easy English Country Dances," a booklet with accompanying CD, available from CDSS: http://www.cdss.org/product-**details/product/id-21-easy-** english-country-dances-**booklet-with-cd.html<http://www.cdss.org/produc… It's a collection of classic dances with plenty of variety of formations and moods, and it will give you a lot of good material (plus music) from which to work. For example, it includes Upon a Summer's Day, which was the first dance in the first edition of Playford, a very accessible three-couple dance that introduces the USA figures-- up a double, siding, and arming. If you have live music, the tunes for these dances are easily available, and you can use the CD for your own practice beforehand.
