The Weevil (line of 4 facing line of 3) The Weaving Way (Square inside another square)
Square 5 (a square with another couple in it) Square 6 (a square with two other couples in it) Dummer Reel (5 people in a circle) Horse’s Bransle (8 people in a horseshoe shape) Cornish 6 Hand Reel (3 couples in a line facing down the room) Twelve Meet (4 lots of 3 in a square – not the original name for the dance but I can’t remember what it is) >From the barn dance side, Scatter Promenade always goes down well, as does >Dashing White Sergeant (3 facing 3). If you don’t count them as contras, Sicilian Circles feel like contra but without the end effects. Hope this helps.

Anyone have any interesting dances for contra dancers that fit the criteria? I have Tom Hinds "Hexitation" and several triplets, a Zia and a Tempest, and have looked through the Ralph Page weekend glossary, but I'm wondering if you were doing a workshop like this, what would be your top pick of a dance? Thanks Donna Hunt
