No one has mentioned my favorite (along with Family Contra):
Andy White's (Amy Cann)
Duple, genderless
A.1 Circle left; as couples, dosido neighbor couple
A.2 As individual, dosido neighbor; two-hand turn neighbor once
B.1 With neighbor: clap hands together, R, together, L
Repeat with partner; repeat with neighbor and partner
B.2 Couple 2 arch, Couple 1 duck thru
Backing up: Couple 1 arch, Couple 2 duck thru
Forward: Couple 2 arch, Couple 1 duck (to new couple)
If people take more than 8 counts to finish the couple dosido, they can catch
up during the individual dosido.
I was concerned that the "A" parts had too many clockwise moves in a row, but
dancers don't seem bothered by this - probably because in the dosidos they're
not turning (or, if they're experienced dancers and choose to spin, they're
probably spinning counterclockwise).

Subject: [Callers] Most-Easiest Duple Minors in existence
Hello hive mind.
What are the absolute easiest duple minor dances you know? I know:
Title: Family Contra
Author: Sherry Nevins
A1: Balance 2x; Circle left (8)
A2: Balance 2x; Circle right (8)
B1: Neighbor DSD (8); Partner DSD (8)
B2: As couple, neighbor DSD 1.5 (16)
What other dances do you have that are duple minor and just as easy to teach to
people who have never danced before? No swing needed!
Thanks
