TRIANGLE TRIPLET
(Three couple longways, actives in the middle, all proper) 
(Alan Winston, Jan/Feb 2004, subsequent tweaks)
(Any 32-bar jig or driving reel, NOT TOO FAST. I like "Moon and Seven Stars"
(in Portland Collection) and also like "K and E" for the raggy, driving feel.)
(For the Triangle Country Dancers and Sun Assembly)

A1: Partners take right hand in right, balance fwd and back.
    Actives swing, ends pull by to start a weave the ring 
    (circular hey with just the four end people).  All finish at home.

A2: Partners take right hand in right, balance fwd and back.
    End couples swing, actives turn right halfway (or pull by) and orbit
    the couple to their right; ends finish at home, middles go through home
    into the set and face up.

B1: TRIANGLE STARS
    1-4: Middles stick out the handy hand (woman's right, man's left) and ends
         join in same-sex triangle stars on the sides. Turn the star until the
         old middles are on the bottom (about 2/3ds of the way), then let go 
         and face into the set; that leaves you in order 3-1-2.

    5-8: Partners do-si-do.

B2: 1-4: Lines of three forward and back, new middle coming back further than 
         the others; finish with all facing into your group of three.

    5-8: TRIANGLE SWING: cross your hands in front of you and take hands with 
         your neighbors; turn once around with a buzz-step turn.  Open up again
         in the same order; you're with the same partner.

NOTES:

On the Triangle star: A wrist grip star gives you an equilateral triangle.
The star is with the people in your own line, and starts with the actives
shoulder to shoulder in the middle, facing up.

(You may find you prefer to drop the forward and back and make a longer 
triangle swing; I like the opportunity for a smooth entry into the swing, and
there's a memory of the end of "Walpole Cottage" in this sequence.  Or, and
this is probably better for most crowds, keep the forward and back and turn the
triangle swing into a basket swing.)
