Shorter Partner Steps at the End of the Evening

Saw this proposed on the Rikud Yahoo group and replied there.

Short partner sets of 3 dances followed by a circle dance might be a good way to encourage changing partners.

In Argentine Tango they play a set of 3 dances with a break in between. The 3 dances are all of the same type, like traditional
tango, tango waltz or milonga (quick tango).

When you dance with someone, it is for all three dances. After the set, you dance with someone else.
