Dont set your sights too low, why not just go for a 3 couple tournee!

Sounds too easy. :-)

My first reaction was to simplify the problem by using a triangular
set. Facing partners would dance into promenade hold facing CCW,
promenade, on bar 4 the women would be turned in to the center to end
back to back facing partner, and then each couple would turn RH
into...

Is it cheating to ignore the 1st couples part?
If you extended this idea to a four couple tournee in a square, should
you call the dance "Thinking inside the box?"
