Hi Ricky,
My college-age son tells me that for college age kids there's nothing  
more fun than a gypsy.  Under his tutelage I've done two dances for  
college crowds lately using lots of gypsies to a very enthusiastic  
response.  My husband, who attended one of them, thought it was  
tooooo many gypsies, but my son said it was perfect... different  
strokes.

I used Gypsy Around Two, already mentioned.  I also modified Broken  
Sixpence, swapping out the ladies do-si-do for a ladies gypsy and the  
gents do-si-do for a gents gypsy.  In addition, they had a lot of fun  
playing with the ladies gypsies in Heartbeat Contra by Don Flaherty  
and Casbah Queens by David McMullen.  I assume you have those but  
just in case:

Heartbeat Contra by Don Flaherty
A1  Balance circle, spin one place to the right (2x)
A2  Neighbors balance and swing
B1  Ladies gypsy once and a half, partners swing
B2  Circle left 3/4, Balance the ring, partners California twirl

Casbah Queens by David McMullen
A1  Neighbors do-si-do and swing
A2  Gents allemande left 1 1/2, partners allemande right 1 1/2
B1  Ladies left shoulder gypsy, partners swing
B2  Promenade across set, Circle left 3/4, Pass through up and down

Have fun!
Delia
