I'll make the suggestion that you be very careful about any dances you want to call that involve traveling outside the foursome. Those dances often introduce end effects that can ripple one or two foursomes into the set from each end, so with only 5 or 6 foursomes, the whole line is confused.

Also, any dance with double progression will leave the dancers feeling that they are bouncing off the ends of the line and being really limited in who they dance with.

Other than those issues, I agree with Jack that most dances should work fine.

Fellow callers, what are things to look for in dances for a short line. I'm afraid that a limited number of dancers will be at an upcoming gig and I want to be prepared in the best possible way, and so am looking for input and for confirmation of my thoughts. They are intermediate/ experienced dancers.
