Dear Nancy,
Another favorite of mine is a circle mixer (see below). There are lots  
of good circle mixers out there......I find that this is a great way  
to get the attendees dancing with each other. I end the dance with the  
bridge and groom swinging in the middle (replacing the final  
promenade). Always, always a crowd pleaser!

I have the dance written as  "I Don't Know Why". No known  
choreographer.  I can be done gender-free; if this is the case, then I  
ask the dancers to name the roles--adds to the fun.

A1   Circle left
         Circle right
A2   Everyone into the center and back
         Just the ladies (or those on the right, or the name given to  
this position) into the center, turn around
        and face to the left diagonal (the first time through the  
dance, I have everyone face the one they asked to dance, and then the  
next time through face left; I point this out during the walk- 
through....new folks "get it" without any problem!)
B1  do si do and Swing
B2  Promenade

Have fun!
warmly, Linda Leslie
