Shorter lines provides the opportunity to pull out some of those “old but modern” great active/inactive dances, and both couples will have a chance to dance the 1s and 2s roles the whole length of the set without the dance lasting an unbearably long time. Some of my favorites are Scouthouse Reel and Flirtation Reel early on, and Fiddleheads, Brimmer and May Reel and Dulcimer Lady later. And then you have the chance to dance all those non-alternating contra corners dances like The Tease, Rory O’More, For Those Who Cared (or the alternating dances dances as actives/1s dance all the way down).
