Linda, thanks for bringing this topic up.  It sounds like might have a good collection of English village dances in your collection.  I think they're perfect for that group.  John is correct, get them moving right away.

I realize that the thread is super easy dances but I'd like to throw out another idea.

Maybe it's time to train them.  I don't think you can get them to be as quiet as you want but maybe you can get them to be quiet when you're teaching.  Those new to calling might want to think about demos, making sure that there's a payoff for being quite and watching.  The payoff/reward could be showing them a cool move or a fun way to dance a particular sequence etc. etc.  And if you can get them to laugh during the demo that's even better.

Thanks to everyone for the dances.  We are fortunate to have so many talented contraographers.
