My objective was to come up with some easy dances for beginners, each of which has a little different twist that would make them interesting to experienced dancers.
Teach Circles (giving weight), and Stars. Who's your neighbor. Teach Do-si-do. Teach Alemande. Teach Swing.
Teach Up/Down/Across/In/Out. Teach #1s and #2s. Contra Progression exercise. What to do when you reach the ends.
Teach ladies chain and right-and-left-through.
