I like the Scottish dances Domino 5 by Derek Haynes (5 people in a diamond with one in the
center), and Three's The Charm by Martha Morrison Veranth (3 dancers in a line facing
the top of the hall). Triplets from contra, English or Scottish dances are good if you
have 6 dancers.

Thank you for sending these, John! They look like fun
and I've been meaning to add more dances to my collection which support lower
turnouts.
I'll plan on adding Quintilinear to my box, but also think the dolphin heys and heys
for three in these dances might be a little tricky for my typical American
dancers, depending on the skill level of the group. *What are others' favorite dances
for small crowds?*
