Here is another EZ mixer from Dick Leger via Lori Morin. Dick and Lori have promted it to Billy Ray Cyrus' "Where Am I Gonna Live When I Get Home". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AmQE3PQDH4M Rich Sbardella Stafford CT

Thanks Kalia for getting this discussion started. You and others might be interested in going back into the Callers archives for a couple of earlier discussions on mixers, one in March 2012 started by David Millstone, I think, and one on waltz mixers in October 2010 started by Chrissy Fowler. It looks like there's some overlap between now and the earlier discussions, but not a lot. Here's a mixer I use fairly often that I don't think has come up recently or in the earlier discussions. It's a reordering of one I learned from the English caller John Turner when he was over here in the mid-90's. (As he presented it, the promenade was the end of the sequence.) A1 Partner balance and swing A2 Promenade B1 Ladies to the center and back (clap on count 4); gents the same, end facing your partner around the ring (i.e., gents face CCW, ladies CW) B2 Allemande Right partner (=#1) once and a half, Allemande Left the next (=#2) once and a half to face the next (=#3, your new partner) I always think of this as "John Turner's Mixer," but I wrote him some years back to see if he had title and author information on it. He calls it "Grand Chain Allemande" but couldn't remember where/when he had collected it or who might have composed it. I wonder if John Sweeney or any other English dance leaders who read [Callers] might know something about it.
