Twenty-five is a good turn-out, and you can do almost anything with it. Agree about five
random-age people though. (I once had one eager couple get out on the dance floor, turning
towards me and expecting to be led into happiness. Yikes!) Better to have a small eager
crowd than a huge one that doesn't/won't/can't dance and sits there
watching.
For circumstances like this I have recordings for stuff like Chicken - Hokey - YMCA. Add
some Civil War "germans" like this one.

And try boosting their turn-out. You might invite some of the local dance-aholics (not the
sweatband snob types). If they have a FB event page, share it. If they don't, make
one.
Let us know what happens!
