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.

 Hi Claire,
               You can see the Zia formation at
https://contrafusion.co.uk/Formations.html#other if you scroll down a bit.  It is a square
with contra lines radiating from the sides.  There are some example dances there as well.
  
               I set Sicilian Circles up by getting the dancers to make a Circle, then
tell one couple to face another couple and work around the circle telling each couple
which way to face.  Experienced dancers will see what is happening and quickly start
sorting themselves out.
  
             Happy dancing,
                    John
