Remember that double progression dances work better with an odd number of 
couples (assuming the end effects are not overwhelming). With an even number, 
the dancers will always be doing the same part of the routine with the same 
neighbors. This will be even more frustrating in short lines.

Is there a list of easy double-progression dances that the group can recommend?

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.
