[Callers] Dances For Short Line

As a dancer, I find that I've had enough of a duple minor dance after
I've traversed one complete round trip of the line.  Seeing the same
neighbors a third time through is too long for me, even if the line is
short.  Just one man's opinion, FWIW.

I love the use of shorter sets to bring asymmetric dances out for a
spin.  Chestnuts and triplets and triple minors come to mind.  In the
circumstance that started this thread, a hearty Chorus Jig sounds like
a win.
