Friends,
I have a small weekly dance session with seniors in CT and often lack dancers. If anyone
could share dances for 5 or 7 people, or two or three couples, I would greatly appreciate
it. I often fall back on solo lines similar to the electric slide, or I dance them in
squares with a phantom (not too successful).
With 3 couples you could use some of the many triplet dances. There
are a bunch in Zesty Contras as well as in other publications. I'm not
aware of any contra-type dances specifically for 2 couples. Some duple
minor dances can be adapted for this, but often this is more of a
tour-de-force, doing it because we can, rather than a really satisfying
dance experience. You might consider some of the 2 couple English
country dances such as Heartsease, Rufty Tufty and Hit and Miss, etc.
