Here's one of mine. Low piece count, promenade to chain is good flow.
(I never totally love the "chain, look for new neighbors" because you
either have to bail out of the courtesy turn to face new neighbor or
complete the turn (now facing partner) and turn away to new neighbor,
but it's
I agree that calling a circle right after a promenade across, has better
flow than a circle left, but I am reluctant to call a circle right in my
first dance (unless it follows a circle left). I prefer to use the first
dance to teach basic calls I will be using all night, and I believe that

Just to be clear, "My Corduroy Blazer" has LL (Long Lines F) not CL.
Again the dance was written to be a first dance of an evening that
introduces many of the basics that will follow in the evening, yet have
loose timing to accommodate newbies.

Yep, Alex, I totally agree on the point of promenade (or RL thru, or
ladies' chain) > circle L not flowing great! So I'm amending my original
criteria: *dances with a promenade, no chain or RL thru, and promenade is
NOT followed by a circle L*.
Thanks for the suggestions, folks :D

I find that there aren’t many dances with a Promenade or RL that are NOT
followed by a circle left. When Dancing promenades to circle lefts, I don’t
like them as an experienced dancer because they don’t feel good and as a caller
I watch new dancers struggle with them because they don’t flow
Hello Maia,
I put one together a couple of years ago. I tried to make the timing as
forgiving as possible, thus the Balance the Ring and Pass Thru, instead of
CL 3/4 & Pass Thru.
