I could get people back to their original partner

mixer like Lucky Seven. And if you typically have 3 concentric

Scout House, how the heck do you manage to get everyone back to their

people in
them, or is there some trick to get people back to their
partners ?? Or, do
you just give up and tell everyone to find their original partners ???
It's a bit goofy, but it works. When you get to the R&L Grand in the
A2, you just
say, "Keep going until you get your original partner, then swing!"
The inner circle gets there early and some folks just laugh and cut
across the room.
During the mixer, people are lighthearted anyway, talking and saying
Happy New
Year to one another, so it's not about having a peak dance experience;
it's about dancing together and being a community.
