Silly Threesome
Author: Kenneth & Sibyl ClarkFormation: Big circle, in
threesomes, man + 2 women, plus a few spare men. All the 3s in a circle, facing anticlockwise. Spare men hover in middle until
B2 when they join the competition. Fun. Competitive mixer.
Difficulty: 1
Style: English
| A1: | All take hands, forward in threes 8 steps. |
| A2: | Men elbow-turn right twice with right woman, left twice with left-hand woman. (Caller can choose any figure here.) |
| B1: | Forward in 3s again. |
| B2: | Woman make stationary arches; man tunnel under (spare men can join in or wait in the middle). |
| B2 repeats until the music stops suddenly, then men compete for partners and form new lines of 3. |
You can ring the changes on A2: do-si-do right shoulder, do-si-do left shoulder; circle left in 3s for 8 steps then circle right; reel of 3, etc.
The video clip shows a slightly different version.
Music: 32 bar but with stops - Agree with band how to stop.
Thumbnail: Sicilian threesome. Go forwards, middles turn ends, forwards, tunnelling.
