So something I heard Lisa Heywood do, that worked really well, was to get everyone to walk single file in a little circle. Then she added the stops in the waves for the balances. She also made it easier on the dancers by calling a dances with a complete box circulate in ie you went all the way round and ended up where you started.
I sometimes call it as "rotate" because that's quicker to say than "box circulate" and makes as much sense. Some experienced dancers are confused by this even though I think the terms are meant to be interchangeable, but I guess it wouldn't matter what you call it if they've never heard of it before.
