Hi Ricky,
My college-age son tells me that for college age kids there's
nothing
more fun than a gypsy. Under his tutelage I've done two dances for
college crowds lately using lots of gypsies to a very enthusiastic
response. My husband, who attended one of them, thought it was
tooooo many gypsies, but my son said it was perfect... different
strokes.
I used Gypsy Around Two, already mentioned. I also modified Broken
Sixpence, swapping out the ladies do-si-do for a ladies gypsy and
the
gents do-si-do for a gents gypsy. In addition, they had a lot of fun
playing with the ladies gypsies in Heartbeat Contra by Don Flaherty
and Casbah Queens by David McMullen. I assume you have those but
just in case:
Heartbeat Contra by Don Flaherty
A1 Balance circle, spin one place to the right (2x)
A2 Neighbors balance and swing
B1 Ladies gypsy once and a half, partners swing
B2 Circle left 3/4, Balance the ring, partners California twirl
Casbah Queens by David McMullen
A1 Neighbors do-si-do and swing
A2 Gents allemande left 1 1/2, partners allemande right 1 1/2
B1 Ladies left shoulder gypsy, partners swing
B2 Promenade across set, Circle left 3/4, Pass through up and down
Have fun!
