I've agreed to an extremely last minute "Hoe Down" gig this Saturday for a
local church, where I'm promised 25-75 people of mixed ages. No dance experience at
all.
I've reset their expectation to a family/barn dance - no cowboy outfits on the
performers, no line dances. They asked for some squares - ok. If the crowd is really that
size, I'm all set. Have the material, live music with a contra and squares, etc.
fiddler & piano player. Good to go.
My nightmare is there's only 5 people that show, say: a toddler, a teen, 2 parents and
a grandparent. I have a few things we could do with that small number of inexperienced
folks, but not enough to fill 2 (fun) hours.
Any ideas on what you'd do/use in that instance? I'm all ears!
(and yes, I've taken note of the recent 9-person threads)
