[Callers] Dances For Short Line

[Martha Wild via Callers]

It's a good time to call dances that might need extra space along the line - for example, there are some dances with a ladies chain up and down as opposed to across the set such as Saint Louis Cruise by Robert Cromartie.

If it's a lot of new dancers, you could even do some dances that just the top couple is "active" like the virginia reel or galopade (or lots of other older dances).  If you have lots of experienced dancers, you could either do medleys or run the dances much shorter than usual.  Also, it can be a good time to do an unequal dance since everyone will have time to be 1's -- was calling in Greenwood, VA for a relatively small group -- maybe 4 -5 hands 4 -- and called Fiddleheads for the first time.  Such a great dance.

I'm afraid that a limited number of dancers will be at an upcoming gig and I want to be prepared in the best possible way, and so am looking for input and for confirmation of my thoughts. They are intermediate/ experienced dancers.
