[Callers] Callers Digest, Vol 65, Issue 3 family dances

[Liz Burkhart]

Capture/Silly Threesomes

Groups of 3 instead of couples, circle mixer
Promenade in groups of 3 counterclockwise
Middle person allemande right the person on the right
Same middle person allemande left the person on the left
Middle person do-si-do person on the right
Outsides make an arch
Middles turn around and walk single file clockwise through the arches until
caller says "capture!"
Basket swing with these 3 and put someone new in the middle
(Lone people or twos who didn't capture anyone wave to find each other -
caller wait for matches before starting over)

You can find a video by googling silly threesome.
