My experience is that women outnumber men at senior events so I avoid partner dances with male-female roles.  The ladies will take the man's role, but I think it's better if they are equals.  Here are 2 of my Go-To gender-free dances:

Rick's Mixer -- a partner dance has only elbow swings and hand claps
Solomon Levi Square - gender-less, and you can do singing calls if want. Dancers can sing on chorus. Originally tune of same name, tho' it works well with Nelly Bly or Golden Slippers, surely other tunes.

A circle waltz or two is always nice between active dances to catch your breath.

I like Circle Waltz Mixer.  I think it's by Peter Amidon.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivg4OsR3OeI

    Bal F&B - Roll Away 4x
    4th time, take both hands w/new P & step in & out, release hold & twirl (ML/WR) 1x around
    Join hands again & step out & in & twirl again (MR/WL) 1x round
    2-hand turn this P 1-2x round & open like a book

Or Spanish Waltz.  Always a good dance.
