If the numbers work out, then some triplets or squares could be good. If it's a lot of new dancers, you could even do some dances that just the top couple is "active" like the virginia reel or galopade (or lots of other older dances). If you have lots of experienced dancers, you could either do medleys or run the dances much shorter than usual. Also, it can be a good time to do an unequal dance since everyone will have time to be 1's -- was calling in Greenwood, VA for a relatively small group -- maybe 4 -5 hands 4 -- and called Fiddleheads for the first time. Such a great dance.

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.
