Sue,
There's no simple answer since the length of parts can vary, not to mention
repeats. That said, in general three or four times through is pretty common
here in San Diego. Five would not be unusual, but rarely less than three.

Subject: [Musicians] Waltz length
Hi,
I'm not sure this list is active (there doesn't seem to be much in
the archives) but I thought I'd give it a try. I'm in a newly formed
contra dance band and we're wondering how long (how many times through
the tune) musicians usually play free waltzes at a contra dance?
Thanks, Sue R.
