LiveBPM indeed does not do well with waltzes. No problem with jigs or reels.

There is a app for iphone or Android called liveBPM. A lot of bands use it.
I usually have if going when we play.Very useful tool.We also use it
in rehearsal to identify dips or spikes in the tempo over the course of a set.
We generally try to play between 110 and 120 depending on t
I will often ask the fiddle player to come out on the floor and play for a
short circle dance. This is an opportunity to get them dancing right away,
teaches connection (giving weight), phrasing (counting to 8), and swing basics.
Sometimes the whole band wants to play.

If you can get by calling a triplet, Linda Leslie’s Corner Triplet is an easy
CC dance.

Thought I'd share this with the group. I wrote this last April while touring
with Tempest in the East.
Back story. We stayed with Laura Light in Asheville, NC. The neighborhood
were she lives has a resident who has a botanical garden. Only the folks in
the neighborhood are allowed in.

Hi Joseph,
Several years ago there was a national MWSD convention here in Portland. They
hired a local contra dance band, rented an hall, and put on a contra dance for
the attendees. The band invited dancers from the local contra dance
community. Their callers did the contra calling. As
Dancing Bear by Becky Hill is a good one. Easy to teach and a little
different. She used to teach it with a little hop after the a1 alle right 1/2.
