yep. Truth be told I've used this dance several times when there were just 5 or 6 dancers. when 5, I danced.. Using Chorus Jig is a good time to impart the "historical aspect" of what it is we are doing too..</div>

<span>Hi Bill,</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">
<span> Just get them to line up in contra lines and say, “Hands six from the top; hold hands in a circle of six; spread out and find some space then make two lines of three facing three.”</span></p>

<span> Then you just have to sort out any odd couples at the bottom.</span></p>

<span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt;">I agree about not wanting people coming from both sides. For just plain teaching the contra corners figure, I like Chorus Jig done as a triplet.. (B2 = actives swing to end of set 3's move up). I have done this dance
with total beginner groups with no problem. The down side of doing a triplet, I guess, is the "herding cats" aspect of setting up many short sets..
