Hi Jeff,
The statement is not, “If you are low on numbers use 3x3s”. The
statement is: Have dances for every possible number of dancers in your kit-bag
so that everyone is dancing.
I work with small groups so I have all sorts of fun dances in
every possible formation and for any number of dances. I often don’t select
the dance until I see how many people have got up. Sometimes I choose a dance
that will fit the numbers, then someone says that they need a rest; I just
change the dance to accommodate the number of dancers on the floor. I can
dance and call at the same time (wireless head mike!) so I can join in if we
are one short. See http://contrafusion.co.uk/Formations.html for some ideas for
different numbers.
Happy dancing,
John

Like Chris, I'm also confused about how this helps with low dancer numbers. I
also don't see how 4x4 or 3x3 help, since if you only have enough people for a
single line those formations mean more people are out?
Jeff
