"The Tease" by Tom Hinds is also good. 1's shoulder round, each other, then
swing their neighbors.

I like "The Art of Negotiation" by Al Olson in general. I think it might be a
good fit for your April 1st program.

I have the pleasure this year of calling the Knoxville contra dance on Monday,
April 1st ... occasionally remembered as April Fools Day.
I'm taking the approach of exploring the spirit of the Fool -- challenging our
assumptions and traditions and reminding us to smile, in spite of ourselves if
necessary. In choosing/crafting my program, I'm looking for a balance of
different and fun, of course.
What foolish dances have you done in the past?

P.S. Here's my "concept" list:
* Reverse progression ("which way is up?")
* Contra mixer ("who needs a partner?")
* Left/Lark chain ("why do Robins chain and Larks allemand?")
* 3 face 3 formations ("what's a partner?")
* Crooked tunes ("why is everything 64 beats?)
* No swing ("how far can I go before the dancers burn me at the stake?")
