No, I am not saying that, I don't think.  I didn't mean you to take my comments 
as meaning I didn't like your idea... I was offering insight that might 
possibly be useful, but not trying to say your plan was a bad one.  If the 
seniors are in a different circle than the youngsters, they are disconnected 
from each other, and the youngsters can't pull them over backwards.  I assume 
the "waving scarves" means they aren't holding hands with each other, and (in 
the context of the concern that I wrote about) that's even better.  Of course, 
being disconnected makes the whole thing less dance-like, so there is a little 
bit of a trade off between "safety" and "fun", and you'll have to decide where 
the sweet spot is, based on your knowledge of your group.  I was just offering 
some things to consider that might oerhaps be different to what you had thought 
about already.
