Greg, If you want the ultimate in low partner interaction - one where you don't actually touch your partner
Snake River Reel by Peter Lippincott (he also wrote a great tune by the same name and they work well together) It is a really fun dance, except for that one minor flaw. Roger Diggle gave us Snake Oil Reel to add a partner swing to Peter's dance - but it replaces a unique promenade figure in the original dance Mac ________________________________ From: Greg McKenzie <[email protected]> To: Caller's discussion list <[email protected]> Cc: [email protected] Sent: Sunday, March 3, 2013 3:40 PM Subject: [Callers] Dances With Minimal Partner Time (Was: dances with ultimate partner time) Hey Folks, I do enjoy dances with good partner interaction...but I have a lot of those. What I am interested in now is contra dances with minimal partner interaction. No. Not dances without a partner swing. (That would likely engender too many complaints.) I'm looking for dances with eight or fewer beats of partner swing, total, for the dance.. Yes. A four-count partner swing would work. But often the better choice is one with ones-only swinging or twos-only swinging, (so the partner swing count for the entire dance is lower overall). I am particularly interested in easy-to moderate contra dances with good neighbor interaction (including neighbor swings).
