[Callers] Colonial Dances Adapted for ONS?

[Jonathan Sivier]

    I'm always hesitant to include dances with swings in a ONS. 
Sometimes it can work, but it very much depends on the group.  Besides 
he was asking about Colonial dances that have been simplified for 
non-dancers.  Throwing a swing in makes a dance more challenging for 
non-dancers and definitely not Colonial in flavor.
