One of my favorite double progression dances is ADPD by Donna Calhoun. I used
it to close out last nights CCD ATL

ADPD (Awesome Double Progression Dance)
by Donna Calhoun
duple, improper
A1)
- 4-in-Line Down the hall (Actives in center); turn single
- Return; Bend the Line
A2)
- Circle Left
- Left Hand Star
B1)
- Balance and Swing NEXT neighbor
B2
- Lines Forward and Back
- Actives Swing
This is one of the easiest double-progression dances I know. I often do this as
a no-walkthrough dance.
This dance was written in desperation one night when I was calling our local
dance and I left my cards on the kitchen table. It Worked!! I intended to call
it The Panic Button in honor of its origin but events conspired against that
name. Robert Cromartie picked it up from me at Feet Retreat then called it at
his local dance. Afterwards Gene Hubert asked him "What was the name of that
awesome double progression dance?" Robert wrote that as the title on his card
and later submitted it to Larry Jennings under the name ADPD for inclusion in
the next incarnation of Zesty Contras. (GIVE and Take) Since the new name was
about to appear in print, it won.

I always carry an assortment of 3 face 3 and 4 face 4 since my home dance may
range from 6 - 30 dancers.
Sometimes a move such as right hand high, left hand low presents a challenge
for some of my dancers so I adjust on the fly. And may do a double progression
so no one is ever out.

There is such a lack of attendance now post Covid in our area and I’m planning
dances and then 20 people show. Do you have best selections or considerations
for 20 to 16 peoples for intermediate experience dancers or secondarily less
experienced dancers
My immediate question is for more experienced dancers, because this is more of
a complex preparation for me.
