TRAFFIC JAM 
Random singletons - no partner
(via Barb Kirchner)

A1: clap 3x, stamp 3x, walk 4 steps
    repeat
    (it's fun to face people when you do clap/stamp, then walk off and face 
     somebody else)

A2: eight sliding steps to the right, eight slides back to the left

B1: make circles of any size, circle left, circle right

B2: break circles, promenade in lines

TRAFFIC JAM (John Krumm)
via David Millstone
no partners needed at start
any standard reel, played AB 
(or just done AA then done again to the BB)

Dancers stand individually anywhere on the floor to start.

BASIC TRAFFIC JAM
A  Clap clap clap; Stamp stamp stamp; Walk - 2 - 3 - 4 (repeat all this)

B   Sashay across the hall for 8 counts; Reverse 

You try to go in a straight line, but avoiding collisions. "Reverse" doesn't
mean go exactly back where you started, but rather change directions. Do this
half a dozen times or so, then move into...

IMTERMEDIATE TRAFFIC JAM

Turn around, quick! Find someone standing there and stand in front of them.
That's your buddy. On the clapping part, instead of clapping your own hands,
you and your partner clap both hands together with each other. On the walking,
you just hold closer hand and walk four steps with your partner. On the sashay,
you hold both hands and gallop sideways (in the same direction!), still trying
to avoid collisions with other couples. Do this variation a few times, then
move into...

ADVANCED TRAFFIC JAM

Same as above, except that on the "reverse" caller says "Switch" and you find a
different partner for the sashay back.
