Thanks!

Hi Alan - 

 
Scatter Promenade -   32 bar  jigs/reels/brisk polkas, all work

Circles of two couple - anywhere in the room
 
A1 - Join hands - circle Lt and Rt.
 
A2  Star - right hand - back with left hand
 
B1  Swing your opposite
 
B2 - Keep the one you swung - promenade anywhere, any direction,  until 
caller says - 'find a new couple'
 
Need to tell people that if they can't find another couple, wave an  arm  - 
'cause there's got to be another couple somewhere having the same  problem! 
 (unless they've gone and sat down!)
 
Columnztanz - 32 bar  jigs/reels/brisk polkas
Same formation as above
 
A1 - Clap your hands 4 times - (exaggerated up and down  - as if you  had 
two large cymbals)
       Stamp 4 times  - Rt hand  star.
 
A2   Repeat clapping/stamping then Lt hand star
 
B1  Ladies chain  - good chance to teach it  (or simple  version BB 
opposite, BB partner)
 
B2  Take partner and  dance on anywhere - until caller says'  find a new 
couple'
 
Quite fun to explain the 'waving an arm in the air if can't find another  
couple'  - and pointing out that at that point everyone else will be doing  
the 4 claps - but you'll find them eventually!
 
Have fun!
 
Sunshine and  smiles
