I've been teaching SCD to 3rd- and 5th-grade classes this fall, and wanting to start with an easy dance with no partners and no progression that any number could do I devised the Edison Circle.  (I'm teaching at the Edison School.)  Here it is for anyone who'd like to try it.

Original description submitted to Strathspey List on 8 Nov 2001.

Edison Circle           4 x 32 J for any number of dancers in a circle, all facing the center

1-8:               All dance hands round to the left and back to the right. (Younger children may do better with 8 bars to the left only.)

9-16:            Facing the center, all advance and retire twice.

17-20:          All dance spring points right, right, left, left, right, right, left, left.

21-24:          All clap 8 times.

25-32:          All dance 8 skip change of step clockwise.
