You can easily check which longways for as many as will are fine for SCA 
period on

It's a list of dances from the second edition (1653), which is allmost 
the same as the first one; they are sorted by the type of the dance (eg. 
for four, for six, etc.).
Some of the widely popular dances came out definitely much, much later 
than half of the century.
