Grand March

The Grand March is a traditional way in which to being a formal ball. All the couples line up in promenade order, and prance around the hall in various figures. This is a really simple set of figures, because I didn't want to get people lost on the first dance. I also wanted to end up in two lines ready for the next dance.

This march above really isn't too great if you have a mixture of adults and children, because the arches are hard on your back.

Here's another one which works better in the intergenerational situation:

You can run the Part I through more than once, and finish up with Part 2, which leaves you in a circle, hopefully for the next dance.
