 Of course there’s tons of material.  If you’re newish to calling I would get comfortable with a just one at first.  How about:
Circle left, right
Allemande left corner, grand right and left.
swing P and promenade
Forward and back twice.
You can change the order of the above for variety.  Just take a look at how the figure ends and begins so it all flows well.
My experience is that the some of the dancers will reach their partners a beat or two before the end of the phrase during the grand right and left.   So I always say something like “swing when your meet your own” rather than “when you meet your own swing”

Hi all, I have been calling for about a 18 months now, mostly Contra, with a bit of ECD mixed in for good measure. The one thing I haven’t tried yet is American format squares(chorus, figure, figure, chorus, etc)! So, I have some square figures that I’d like to try, but I’m a bit stuck on choruses. Has anyone got any good, interesting, but simple choruses that can be easily done ‘on the call’?

Many Thanks,
Liam Binley.
