My strategy has been scatter promenades. Instead of
Fwd & Bk, Fwd &

(Dudley referred to "Siege of Carrick".) You may loose a phrase or
two, but no big deal. Works especially well with dances that do not
require 1s and 2s to dance different parts. Sometimes the Circles and
Stars become 16 steps instead of 8, especially with children involved.
Aha! Sicilian Circles turn into Kentucky Running Set figures. I use
those all the time--and not in a circle of couples where Ones go one way
and Twos the other, but just, "go find another couple!"
One Nighters:
longways sets
big circles as a circle
big circles simple mixers
what's now called "scatter promenades"
and maybe, but only if the interest & attention seems there:
Jefferson & Liberty or Haste to the Wedding...
