Agree with the things you listed and just had this thought. If you do
two walk-throughs as you start the dance, some of them will naturally be
moved down the line to dance with more experienced dancers. Since the
swing is so important in getting people on the correct side of their
partner, I would re-teach the swing as I teach the dance.

Dear Colleagues,
Here's the scenario: You are finishing up a new dancers' lesson, and
will be starting the dance in a few minutes. In walks a significant
number (say 6+) of newbies, all friends who want to dance together.
Besides the two most common solutions, lower the difficulty and insist
they NOT do the first couple of dances together, does anyone have an
additional creative/elegant solution, enhancement actions to make the
basics more effective, or important issues for consideration that are
commonly missed?
