Victor and Mary One of my favorite double progression dances is ADPD by Donna Calhoun. I used it to close out last nights CCD ATL contra! http://www.ibiblio.org/contradance/hosted/Donna_Calhoun.html#adpd
________________________________ ADPD (Awesome Double Progression Dance) by Donna Calhoun duple, improper A1) * 4-in-Line Down the hall (Actives in center); turn single * Return; Bend the Line A2) * Circle Left * Left Hand Star B1) * Balance and Swing NEXT neighbor B2 * Lines Forward and Back * Actives Swing This is one of the easiest double-progression dances I know. I often do this as a no-walkthrough dance. This dance was written in desperation one night when I was calling our local dance and I left my cards on the kitchen table. It Worked!! I intended to call it The Panic Button in honor of its origin but events conspired against that name. Robert Cromartie picked it up from me at Feet Retreat<http://www.feetretreat.com/FiddleBow/public/home.cfm> then called it at his local dance. Afterwards Gene Hubert asked him "What was the name of that awesome double progression dance?" Robert wrote that as the title on his card and later submitted it to Larry Jennings<http://www.neffa.org/docs/how.html> under the name ADPD for inclusion in the next incarnation of Zesty Contras. (GIVE and Take) Since the new name was about to appear in print, it won.

Sometimes a move such as right hand high, left hand low presents a challenge for some of my dancers so I adjust on the fly. And may do a double progression so no one is ever out.

Do you have best selections or considerations for 20 to 16 peoples for intermediate experience dancers or secondarily less experienced dancers My immediate question is for more experienced dancers, because this is more of a complex preparation for me.
