Your strategy wouldn't have worked at our last monthly party because the
announcers insisted on dancers clearing the floor between dances.   In our
branch they do usually make a point of reminding dancers to escort their
partners to the sidelines after each dance, which IMO is not only a courtesy
but helps keep people from monopolizing partners and/or the prime dancing
areas in the hall. -Steve
