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?

I'm dubious about using double progression in short lines.
If there's an odd number of couples in the line:
In a single progression dance, there's always one couple out,
alternating between the top and the bottom of the line.
In a double progression dance, there's always one couple out at the

Shorter lines provides the opportunity to pull out some of those “old but
modern” great active/inactive dances, and both couples will have a chance to
dance the 1s and 2s roles the whole length of the set without the dance lasting
an unbearably long time. Some of my favorites are Scouthouse

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.

Hi Laurie,
Last time I had that challenge in America, as well as some
contras, I called:
Ted's Triplet #3
Waltz Country Dance
Big Set (Birdie in the Cage, California Show Basket, Down the Coal Mine)
Square --- NOT!
Microchasmic
Hexitation

With smaller groups definitely consider screening compositions for
significant end effects - dancers will encounter them a greater proportion
of time than in longer lines/bigger crowds.
