Hi, Claire,

One triplet I have enjoyed is Rick Mohr's Triplet #2 (I've copied his notes below). once dancers get the feel, the momentum of the 1's leading into the circle at the beginning of A2 is very satisfying, as is the wave into the hey.
I had it nearly fall apart one time when the group of people left were all beginners, but they were having a good time and laughed throughout - either caught up on the circle left or straightened out the set at the partner swing at the end, so it worked well enough.

I used to coordinate an open band/open caller dance that got tons of musicians but was often short on dancers, so it was handy to have interesting dances that worked for very short sets. I also once improvised Rory O'more as a triplet, but the memory is hazy now. I think I just had the #1 couple swing to the bottom of the set at the end.

Rick's Triplet #2

By Rick Mohr; January 28, 2002
Triplet, 1's Improper
Level: Intermediate/Advanced

A1:	1's cross (passing right shoulders), go outside below 2's who move up (6) 1's cross (passing right shoulders), turn right, go outside around two people (ending proper) (10)
A2:	Circle left 6 hands round (12) Allemande right with partner 3/4 (4) (Join left hands with neighbor to form a wave of six)
B1:	Balance the wave (4) Half hey for 6 (neighbors pass left shoulders to start) (12)
B2:	Balance and swing partner (16)

The figures of this dance fit the music phrases exactly, so it can be quite satisfying if dancers are on the ball but somewhat unforgiving if they get confused.

The active couple moves continuously in A1. First they cross around the 2's to the middle position, and then without stopping they cross again and both turn right—the man loops around the bottom couple while the woman loops around the top couple. As the active dancers return to the middle position (proper) all join hands and match their motion smoothly into a circle left.

The circle left in A2 takes 12 steps, so be aware to call the allemande right in time for its four steps to end the phrase in time to balance the wave at the start of B1. Then 12 weaving hey steps invert the set in time for the partner balance and swing at the start of B2.

In terms of the original numbering, once through the dance leaves the couples in a 3, 1, 2 sequence.

Hi Claire:
If you want a triplet with contra corners and a hey for 6 (and very much for experienced dancers) then try:
