What I would like is for people to make suggestions
of fun, flowing
dances that are compact, especially in their width. I think having a "list"
or some other organizing format, of these "compact dances" would greatly
enhance our toolboxes. What do you think?

Hi Paul,
Good topic, thanks for starting it.
I remember being at a crowded dance in Montpelier with Nils Fredland
calling, and he did 4 face 4 dances. I was initially surprised, but it made
good use of the space. By merging two sets laterally it eliminated the space
that would normally be between those sets and made folks aware of 7 other
dancers instead of 3 other dancers.
I think it depends on the geometry of the hall, but 4 face 4 dances can be
good, non-obvious, efficient use of space. Just something to add to that
part of your tool-box.
