Hi Rickey

I have a five person dance in a diamond: 
http://www.dancekaleidoscope.org.au/dance.html#Crossroads.

Crossroads
5 people, four in a diamond, one in the middle, numbered clockwise from 
the top with 5 in the middle

A1 	1 and 2, 3 and 4 do-si-do, starting right shoulder

	The same swing (crossed hands)
A2
	5 faces right and hey for three across the set with 2 and 4, starting 
right shoulders, while 1 and 3 orbit anti-clockwise all the way around 
the set
B1 	5 faces up and hey for three up and down the set with 1 and 3, 
starting left shoulders, while 2 and 4 orbit clockwise all the way 
around the set
B2 	1 and 5 two-hand turn 1 1/2 to change places

	Balance the ring around the new 5 and Petronella turn to next position 
to the right (anti-clockwise)


And a five couple dance in Levi Jackson formation: 
http://www.dancekaleidoscope.org.au/dance.html#Rubigold.

Rubigold
Five couples in a horseshoe

A1 	Side couples left hand star once around at each end (leaving enough 
room between the two stars for the tops to pass through); top couple 
crosses, passing right shoulder, and cast to between the two stars

	Side couples right hand star once around at each end; top couple 
crosses between the stars, passing right shoulder, and cast to the bottom
A2 	Sides hey for four along their lines, starting right shoulder with 
partner; tops cross, passing right shoulder, and cast back to the top 
(improper)

	Tops right allemande 1 1/2; while sides complete their hey
B1 	Grand chain six places (one bar per change) starting right hand with 
partner (12 steps)

	Take the next in a lower promenade hold and promenade one place 
anti-clockwise (men finish one place clockwise in the set, women finish 
two places clockwise) (4 steps)
B2 	Balance and swing partner


I've written some other five person diamond dances, but haven't tested 
them out yet.

Cheers

Keith
