Friends, I have a small weekly dance session with seniors in CT and often lack dancers. If anyone could share dances for 5 or 7 people, or two or three couples, I would greatly appreciate it. I often fall back on solo lines similar to the electric slide, or I dance them in squares with a phantom (not too successful).
With 3 couples you could use some of the many triplet dances. There are a bunch in Zesty Contras as well as in other publications. I'm not aware of any contra-type dances specifically for 2 couples. Some duple minor dances can be adapted for this, but often this is more of a tour-de-force, doing it because we can, rather than a really satisfying dance experience. You might consider some of the 2 couple English country dances such as Heartsease, Rufty Tufty and Hit and Miss, etc.
