Hi all,

I'm calling a contra dance this weekend, and had a request for a  
"birthday dance" to honor somebody's birthday.  I can't think of any  
contra dances that reference birthdays.  Any suggestions or ideas?

The crowd is likely to include a significant number of beginners mixed  
into a mid-to-high level crowd.   They are not amenable to anything  
too far outside a modern regular contra, although it might depend on  
the ratio of challenge: satisfaction.

Thanks in advance for any ideas!
