I think the thread you wanted for this bit was Ben Hornstein's "Social

True, but the original poster mentioned a group of 5-10 couples, and
also mentioned that this is a class rather than a standard social
dance, so something that requires a bit more teaching might actually
be a good fit.
And how about Levi Jackson Rag (5 cpls)? It's not actually that
hard, and uses basic figures in a fun way. When a set gets through
it for the first time it's a definite high-5 moment.
Errrgh. No. ;-) I mean, agreed on the high-5 bit, but I think of Levi
Jackson as being more difficult because of the pass-by-two star -- I've
seen way too many breakdowns there. Combine that with the fast pace
(some do slow down the music, though), and just the generally odd
configuration, and I only recommend doing it with more experienced
dancers unless you want to spend a lot of time teaching it.
The other problem with Levi Jackson is the same problem with square
dancing: you need exact multiples of five couples.
