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.

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.

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.
