Sure they're all fun (we hope). I'm looking for a few dances that are particularly
playful, quirky, silly....something that typically gets the dancers laughing.
Some examples would be "Over the Hill and Still Chased" with the lady round
two/gent cut through figure, or Beneficial Tradition when the dancers throw their free arm
up and shout "Wooo!"
You get the idea. What are your favorites?

"Pirates Across The Atlantic" by Andrea Nettleton has a figure-8 chase
move at the start that's based on the English dance "Dancing Across The
Atlantic." The floor always gets really goofy when I call that one. It
has the double advantage of being a nice solid contra dance as well as
having a silly bit. It's not just a gimmick with a couple of swings
stuck to it.

Silly? you came to the right place! I have a couple that fill that bill.

*XYZ *is *Beneficial Tradition* on steroids. Instead of doing the zipper in
parallel with you partner, you go in opposite directions from your partner,
then reverse the zipper and come back the other way to meet up again:

Wes Side Story is a very silly dance with a very somber backstory. It is a
Becket mixer with a seriously modified long lines forward and back.The line
move in parallel rather than in in opposition, and instead of holding
hands, it is done with finger snaps a la Sharks and Jets. Sue, i will send
you the back story off list.
