[Callers] Re: Really fun 3X3 dances? And easy squares?

Emily and all, I agree that “Do Si Three” is excellent. Fun, fast to learn. I use it alot. I love 3Face3’s for certain types of gigs. They help newer dancers “feel” a contra progression. They help contra dancers at a community dance “feel like” they are contra dancing. :-) Other 3x3’s I have and like are: Haste to the Divorce, Tom Hinds (I usually call it “Haste to the Reception”) A1: F and B; Circle Left (all 6) A2: Circle Right (all 6); DSD opposite B1: Hook waists (or elbows) in line of 3 As a 3-some, DSD the opposite 3 (in a blob of 3) 1 and 1/2 times to progress B2: Basket swing for 3, face next Ménage à Trois Al Olson A1: Line of 3 go Forward, and pass thru (do not turn around); Center person does Right Hand High and Left Hand Low to turn the line of three 180 to face the same original opposites (neighbors) again. Repeat. This gets everyone back to starting place again. A2: Swing Opposite Return to original trio and original direction B1: Circle Left (all 6) half way F and B B2: Basket swing trio and face original direction (backs to original opposites) My note: Teach “right hand high and left hand low” thoroughly. Dancers want to pass thru and turn alone to face original opp’s. Sue In Wisconsin, not Snowing yet tonight.
