Is this not a general issue though around 2 couple progression dances?  If
I have 5 couples in my class I often use 2 couple progression dances to
allow everyone to participate.  But it does mean that the couples starting
as 1 and 5 have little chance to dance the "opposite direction" position. 
If the number of couples reach 7 they have no chance.
