In response to Rickey Holt's message:
I am looking for an easy dance that uses groups of 3
dancers - either 3
facing 3, or 3 all facing the same direction. I especially would like one
where the dancers in each group of 3 have a chance to play with which one of
them is in the middle. No country corners please. I already have 3 Meet,
from the old Community Dancing Manuals. Any other suggestions? Dances that
do not require a specific tune but fit within a standard 32 bar contra tune
would be best.
Thanks.

I wrote this dance several years ago when the local dance conflicted with the Dance Flurry
and I had to stay home to call. The 1st star can be wrist grip (snowflake star), or
whatever is easy for folks. The 2nd star should NOT be wrist grip - I point out that
whoever is on top of the pile will have something special to do in the next part of the
dance (lead the 2 people on his/her right to another line of 3). Any bouncy, silly tune
will work.
