I really like the 4-face-4 genre, and have about eighteen of those
dances I really like on file. Favorites include "Coray's Silver Jubilee"
by Carol Ormand, and "Dance All Night" by Rick Mohr. (They're
both on the web.)


Interesting note on K&E -- it's technically an English Country Dance,
and has its own music should you wish to use it. But it's American
in style, written back in the 1970's, or before. In fact Pat Shaw wrote
so many ECD dances in the American contra style that I consider
him one of the great contra composers, even if he never actually
wrote contras.
