Along similar lines (and for an event the same day), I am calling for an
outdoor wedding where the dance floor space is going to be 19x19, which
we are trying to see if can be extended to around by a bit to around
25x19. Assuming 6 foot spacing from dancer to corresponding dancer in
the next set, that would seem to be enough room for 1 (or MAYBE, but
probably not 2) lines of about 3 (or hopefully 4) hands 4. Does that
sound about right?

A space conundrum for you all.
I'm calling a wedding reception for approx 150-170 guests with a
designated dance dance space of 35 feet x 16 feet. No options for
expanding or last minute venue switches.
(Also note that the band rather than myself was consulted on venue
space. I've seen the diagram, and the space is at least well-used.
The dance space is arranged lengthwise at the end of the large hall
next to the tables. )
How many people (non dancers) would you realistically expect to get
onto this floor at once?
I'm contemplating some circle dances, some scatter mixers and some
longways sets. Maybe a single file spiral around the perimeter of the
room. The guests are mostly non-dancers, occasional contra dancers
and a few Scottish/ceili dancers thrown in for spice. I don't think
I can get all 150+ people into that space at once.
Thoughts? Calculations?
