Good place for guinea pigs for testing dances-- and for practicing calling-- is at a house party, a kitchen junket. Invite a handful of friends over, roll up the proverbial rug, clear out the kitchen or dining room, and go at it. We danced all of Ted's Triplets (41 of 'em) in out kitchen one day, with a second set in the dining room when the crowd was at its peak. With nine people, you can have someone calling and enough for a square, a four couple longways, triplets with a few folks resting or preparing the next dance. Have fun!
