Hi Rich,
Some options:
Half Promenade x2
First Corners Cross; Second Corners Cross x2
Full Poussette
This is not from the period, but may be useful to get some of the
concepts across: https://youtu.be/Zuas_3MVcv4
Lots more about Right & Lefts here:

Happy dancing,
John

Subject: [Callers] Rights and Lefts
I am tasked with calling a Colonial Dance with mostly novices. Most of the
dances I have are Triple Minors and contain Rights and Lefts. I am converting
the dances to Duple Minors in most cases, or perhaps to a Triplet if need be.
I have two questions.
Do you have a favorite replacement for the 16 count Rights and Lefts that will
leave dancers facing their new neighbors?
Do you have any Regency period or colonial flavored dances for a group of
novice dancers?
Thanks!
