I'm wondering if anyone could point me towards dances that really hit a homer - things like: Jubilation (Gene Hubert), Thanks to the Gene (Tom HInds) Another Nice Combination (Tome Hinds), Star Struck (Nick Boulet), Simplicity Swing (Becky Hill), The Carousel (GH), The Baby Rose (David Kaynor), All You Can Eat (Ted Crane), 20 Below (Bill Olson)... dances that can be the bread and butter of a less advanced evening, or just a handy fall-back for more capable crowds. Dances without down-the-hall, and without awkward transitions (right&left through -> circle L?! agh!).
Without addressing your actual question, there's a fix for that oogy transition that Lynn Ackerson showed me. Lynn, you here? Hi! Instead of a R&L through with courtesy turn, do a no-hands pass-through straight across and a California twirl into the circle. It feels great.
