Barrie's mention of a Snow Ball brought to mind this dance, from Thomas Green's wonderful website of (mostly) simple dances: http://homepage.ntlworld.com/greenery/BarnDances/ToC.html --- The Snowball By Martin Hodges 5 couple longways. Difficulty: 1 * A1: 1s right hand turn partner; left hand turn partner * A2: 1s and 2s right hand star, left hand star * B1: 1s 2s and 3s, circle left and right * B2: 1s 2s 3s and 4s, take hands on the sides and go forward and back in a line, twice * C1: 5s gallop to top, cast out to bottom * C2: 1s gallop to bottom; all swing --- I use this dance a lot, especially early in an evening as a way of teaching basic figures in a setting where folks won't get confused. Works with mixture of ages.
