Re: Triple Minor Progression

Don’t know do we? as they say in the UK. Mt guess is that they danced it with a ghost, but I really don’t have a clue...I wasn’t even a fly on the wall. They didn’t have long sets in those days...4 maybe 5 cpls..the rooms were small.

I know that they started these dances differently (i.e. the top couple "teaching" the dance as they went down the line), but I am curious as to how they handled the progression at the bottom. I know of two ways we do it now (dancing with "ghosts" or the bottom 2 (inactive) couples trading places), but I am wondering how they did it back then. Tom Willson Simi Valley, CA
