I like "Sneak Preview," by Claudio Buchwald Improper A1: Neighbor do si do 1 1/2x to next neighbor Gypsy left once (I make it an allemande sometimes) A2: Original neighbor, balance and swing B1: Circle left 3/4x Partner swing B2: Ladies chain across Star left and on to the next
I like it because there's really only one unusual part and if you have a crowd of less experienced dancers, there's that nice re-orienting neighbor balance and swing, which gives everyone 16 counts to get their heads straight. I also like to start by asking people to identify their next neighbor and by reminding folks out on the end that they have to stay on their toes and be ready to be someone's "next neighbor." Good luck! Meg (Chicago)
