Never underestimate the power of Cotton-Eyed Joe. Specifically, the recorded version by the Rednexx
I've been doing some dances for tweens and teens using recorded music recently. With one group in particular, all teens, I've started up with Cotton-Eyed Joe -- then done something traditional then switch back to a line dance they know like Cupid Shuffle, then some more trad stuff -- and back to The Electric Slide (and the parents join in) and alternate to trad material.
Works well in East Stroudsburg, PA anyway.
FYI -- with cotton-Eyed Joe -- the Rednexx cut is pretty long and it gets to be a forced march at the end so . . . this from Pat Cannon who I have subcontracted some gig for
Have dancers identify a "partner" and stand next to him/her
Do Cotton-Eyed Joe twice through -- then facing partner do hand claps (rt/rt/rt, l/l/l/, both, both, both, knees, knees, knees and then elbow rt. swing /left elbow swing (do all that twice through)
Then back to Cotton-Eyed Joe, and keep alternating.
I was pretty skeptical when Pat told me what she was doing, but it works very well. Best part of a big father/daughter dance recently -- girls got their dads up as partners, dads stumbled through Cotoon-Eyed Joe. A lot of fun.
