I have a few dances - I'm tight on time, will send soon. I want more though so I hope others continue to share.<div><br></div><div>Laur<br><br><br><a href="https://yho.com/footer0">Sent from Yahoo Mail for iPad</a><br><br><p class="yahoo-quoted-begin" style="font-size: 15px; color: #715FFA; padding-top: 15px; margin-top: 0">On Tuesday, October 4, 2016, 3:09 PM, QuiAnn2 via Callers <callers@lists.sharedweight.net> wrote:</p><blockquote class="iosymail"><div id="msgSandbox_AL2FmjkQAEk8sV2FP2BiwNnGCsOg6U_TEXT" class="msgSandbox" style="padding: 1.5em 0.5em 0.5em 1.2em; word-wrap: break-word;">I recently called at a contra dance where we had exactly 6 dancers for almost the entire evening (one joined us later but only occasionally danced). This was unexpected as they usually have attendance in the 12-20 range. I was able to piece together a night of mixers, triplets, and oddball dances to make it work and the dancers were game for anything so it ended up being a fun night. But it got me thinking about what to do if only 4 dancers came to a dance (meaning even if I jumped in, we would only have 5 total dancers). In order to be better prepared for next time, I have a couple of questions.<br><br>1) Do you have any dances you can share that would work for 4 or 5 dancers? Or also dances for 6 dancers that are not triplets (have plenty of triplets). I have already collected Do-Si-3 and Haste to the Divorce, both of which I modified so that they would not progress.<br>2) Could a whole evening (3 hours) of dance be put together for just 4-5 dancers?<br>3) What preparation can be done by me in advance to help with this situation? It’s possible to talk with the organizer in advance about canceling the dance if only 4 or 5 dancers show up, however, this particular dance is a 75 minute drive one-way and I’d prefer to avoid the round trip if there won’t be enough dancers. For various reasons, any dance promoting that I do myself would be largely ineffective for this particular dance.<br><br>Would love to hear about any ideas you can share.
