Here's a dance I made up sometime -- don't quite remember when, for 7,
but works with 9 (or even 11...)
The Millennium Bug
Erik Hoffman
Written for a weird New Year...
Formation is a longways set of couples facing the odd person out who is
"The Bug"
A1 Essentially, up a double towards The Bug, but I call it a
with-your-partner
forward and back then make lines a the sides and the bug strolls
down
the center
A2 Unzip the Line:
When The Bug gets to the bottom, he or she keeps facing down,
crosses
his or her arms, makes an arch with the higher arm, and backs up,
guiding the low arm people under the arm
B1 After the ends of the lines come out: Circle Left, then Right
B2 The Bug Swings Someone (The Bug chooses first!) then the rest choose
a Partner and Swing. The dancer with no partner is The New Bug and
goes to the Top, others end forming a longways set facing The Bug
Originally conceived for 7 people, and works well in that size, and
works well for 9, too.

Hi Everyone,
In preparation for calling my first family dance on March 6, I’d like to find some
family-friendly dances that are for very small groups, like 3-9 people.
Ideally NOT proper triplets, or 3x3s (already have a few of those) and NO gender roles.
I’ve got a good collection of simple dances for 10++ people, circles, lines, etc.
I’m preparing for a crowd of up to 100 but if it dwindles down to 1-2 families or starts
slow, I’d like something for small groups too.
Thanks!
