In 8-9min <https://www.jefftk.com/p/contra-dance-lengths> you're going ~17
times through, so if your Sicilian circle has more than ~68 people [1]
you're not going to go all the way around and start repeating.
And if your contra dance has more than 36 [2] people per set it also
doesn't matter how many sets you divide the hall into.

[1] 17 progressions * 2 couples per hands four * 2 people per couple
[2] 17 progressions * 2 people per couple + 2 for yourselves

Happy dancing,

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.
