For me the absolute, guaranteed never to fail contra (as opposed to a longways
dance such as Gallopede), is Jefferson and Liberty. I assume it's derived from
a traditional dance of the same name created in Colonial times.
Jefferson and Liberty (duple,no need to worry about who's on which side)
A.1. Circle 4 left and right ("It doesn't matter if you get all the way to the
left as long as you finish where you started.")A 2. Star right and left (Same
instruction.)B. 1. Ones down the outside and back.B.2. Down the center, 4 in
line, ones in the middle. Ones make an arch, twos duck under ("Twos take hands
with your partner so you don't lose each other!") Everybody comes back up the
set, everybody look to the nexy couple..
If they're able, you can suggest that the ones not turn around to come back up
the set, but come backwards so they can get acquainted with their new
neighboring couple.

I rarely call a contra at a One Night Party Dance, but occasionally I am asked
to. I have a few in my cards, but can anyone make some sure fire
recommendations.
Assume 95%-100% non dancers.
Thanks, RichStafford, CT
