Chris' Accretion Reel looks like fun for a ONS with the controlled chaos
of circles and baskets of random sizes.
Here is a scatter mixer which leads to a similar situation.
Star Crazy - scatter mixer but start with circles of 3 couples
A1 (3 couples) Circle Left, Circle Right (keep moving same way for …)
A2 Left hands across for Left hand star, right hands across for Right hand
star
B1 (starting with lowest hands), Gents pull ladies out of the star and
swing
B2 Scatter promenade (and look for 2 more couples)
notes: B1: For ONS can do right arm or elbow swings.
B2: The requirement for 3 couples is only 'recommended', let circles
of any size form, and let the dancers sort out the fun when the
circles have an even number of couples.
Cheers, Bill
PS - At a folk festival barn dance someone called a mixer that used the idea in
B1. I made
up this 32 bar version. Does anyone recognize it?
