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)
