Silly threes.
[Circle mixer: Lost&found is in the center]
Make lines of three [holding hands] facing CCW around the circle like spokes on a wheel. If you are between two people then you are a MIDDLE; else you are one of the two SIDEs; you retain this name through one cycle of the dance.
Promenade in lines-of-three CCW(16).
Circle-of-three: Circle Left, Circle right(8+8).
MIDDLEs swing the one who [is] ___(8) [tallest, curliest hair, youngest, who can stick the stomach out the farthest, who can jump the highest, thinking of the color purple etc…] [the cute one... the cuter one] MIDDLEs swing the other one!(8)
SIDEs make a Both-Arms arch and all the MIDDLEs run through all the arches around the circle until the music stops.(16) SIDEs capture the closest MIDDLE to make a new line. [Decide who’s going to be the new MIDDLE.]
I renamed “middles” and “sides” from innies and outties.
