You only cross paths with half the dancers if you have two contra
lines. It's even fewer if you have three or four lines. And if the
lines are long you, you might not even dance with everyone in your own
line.

My complaint about Sicilian circles (as a dancer) is
you only dance
with half the hall unless you find neighbors that you can switch
directions with.

Hi Claire,
You can see the Zia formation at
https://contrafusion.co.uk/Formations.html#other if you scroll down a
bit. It is a square with contra lines radiating from the sides.
There are some example dances there as well.
I set Sicilian Circles up by getting the dancers to make a Circle,
then tell one couple to face another couple and work around the
circle telling each couple which way to face. Experienced dancers
will see what is happening and quickly start sorting themselves out.
Happy dancing,
John
