Hi Callers,

I'm working on a themed contra workshop called "Role Scramblers," and just realized that all of the dances I've shortlisted are very smooth. I'm looking for dances with elements for each dance role that are more typically danced by the other role (such as Jeff Spero's "Equal Opportunity," which has the ones chain). I have "Roll Away Sue" by Bob Isaacs (a gent's chain), but would love other dances with balances and waves that might fit this theme.


Some that I have that are more balancey (feel free to email me if you need the notes):

The Dancing Frog by Jeff Spero - gents do a right-hand chain
Chain the Swain by Becky Hill - gents do a right-hand chain
Coming Home from Toohollie by Janet Shepherd - ladies rollaway partners into a swing; petronella
The Digital Divide by Jeremy Korr - alternates gents/ladies chain and give-and-take to gents'/ladies' side; balance + square thru
