    Here is another which I happen to have handy.

Berea Twelvesome
Formation:  Square with three people on each side
Documentation: Choreographed by John Ramsay in 1985
Music: Fair Jenny (or other 32 bar jig)

A1	Threesomes at the heads join hands and skip to left passing
	behind side threesomes on the left and in front of side
	threesomes on the right;

A2	Side threesomes do likewise behind and in front of heads;

B1	Hands joined in threesomes, dance forward a double (1-2);
       	Center person (man) backs out while passing left-hand partner
	under an arch made with the right-hand partner. Ends have
	changed sides (retaining hands with center person), their backs
	are to the center (3-4);
	Ends join free hands to make a six-hand mill; Turn mill CW, buzz
	step; End the mill in a single circle of 12, with both ladies to
	the man's left (progression).  This is accomplished by having
	the man retain his left hand hold with his original left-hand
	partner but dropping the right hand hold with the original
	right-hand partner.  The hands should be dropped as he has his
	back to the center and then continues another half turn
	clockwise out of the mill and into the full circle (5-8).

B2	Form a double circle and buzz left.  In a double circle each
	dancer reaches out to either side, across each neighbor (no
	crossing of own hands), and takes the hand of the person beyond
	the neighbors in the circle to either side

NOTE: While circling in the double circle, it helps for the head men to
prompt the new left-hand partner that she will lead his new threesome
for the next round of the dance.
