Remember that double progression dances work better with an odd number of couples
(assuming the end effects are not overwhelming). With an even number, the dancers will
always be doing the same part of the routine with the same neighbors. This will be even
more frustrating in short lines.

Is there a list of easy double-progression dances that the group can recommend?

Sometimes a move such as right hand high, left hand low presents a challenge for some of
my dancers so I adjust on the fly. And may do a double progression so no one is ever
out.

There is such a lack of attendance now post Covid in our area and I’m planning dances and
then 20 people show. Do you have best selections or considerations for 20 to 16 peoples
for intermediate experience dancers or secondarily less experienced dancers
My immediate question is for more experienced dancers, because this is more of a complex
preparation for me.
