How many actor/actress's will you need?

I will probably rely a kaleidoscope effect to create the illusion that there are more people on screen than actually exist, but I imagine anywhere between 3 - 6 people would be ample.

(insert video here)

The height of said people being different isn't a problem as the dancers will act like dancing Trees swaying in the wind, thus a simple dance routine and nothing that will look too complicated but maybe slightly humorous.
  This will be in many ways abstract dance with a motif because of the people I will be relying on will not be professional dancers and are not getting paid and so I can only expect so much from them. Luckily however this will add to the overal effect of my video in relation to the abstractness of the silhouetted, mysterious people.

"It's clumsy but:

Apply the Mirror effect (in the Perspective category) to a clip.

Copy that clip and paste it a few times into the tracks directly above the original. Be sure to change the mirror settings so it is different in each clip.

Crop the area of each clip to reveal a different mirrored section.
