Another 3-person dance is one I call Innies and Outie Arches. I don't
know its real name. Katy Tarter German called it at a family dance
years ago, and I've used it successfully a few times since, especially
at family dances. This dance requires the band being willing to stop
the music at random moments in the B2, though. I suppose you could
verbally say "stop" without stopping the music if the band was adverse
to it.

Innie and Outtie Arches
Make lines of three facing CCW around the circle like spokes on a
wheel. Note your position: If you are between two people in the
middle you are an innie. If you are on the outside of the line you
are an outtie.
Hold hands in lines to start.
A1 Promenade in lines of three (counter clockwise). (16)
A2 Circle of three, circle L (8)
Circle of three, circle R (8)
B1 Innies swing the one who (is) _____ (8)
(tallest, curliest hair, youngest, who can stick their stomach out the
farthest, who can jump the highest, etc… ) (the pretty one... the
prettier one)
Innies swing the other one! (8)
B2 Outties make an arch and all the innies run through all the
arches around the circle until the music stops. (16)
Outties capture the closest innie to make a new line.
(Decide who’s going to be the new innie.)

Hi all,
I am looking for an easy dance that uses groups of 3 dancers -
either 3
facing 3, or 3 all facing the same direction. I especially would
like one
where the dancers in each group of 3 have a chance to play with
which one of
them is in the middle. No country corners please. I already have 3
Meet,
from the old Community Dancing Manuals. Any other suggestions?
Dances that
do not require a specific tune but fit within a standard 32 bar
contra tune
would be best.
Thanks.
