Recently I called Maia McCormick's Train Delay 
<https://contra.maiamccormick.com/dances.html#traindelay> to a crowd of eight. 
There's a 16 count shadow interaction that sends you back to your partner for a 
16 count swing. When the people on the ends do that, they're effectively in for 
half of the dance, even when "waiting out." I suspect many other shadow dances 
may have this dynamic.

Here's a video of that:

it also ends up looking kinda like a square with eight.
