Facing Trios Patter Ideas

Here are some ideas for “patter” calling to trios.  
Or try combining some of these to create your own Facing Trio Dance:

Circles:

-- All six Circle Left (or Circle Right)

-- Center two Circle Left while the others Circle Right around them.

-- Centers make a three-dancer circle with the ends to their right (or to their left).

Stars: 

-- All six make a Right-Hand Star (or make a Left-Hand Star).

-- Boys only (or Girls only) Star Right (or Star Left).

-- Two center dancers place hands on each other’s shoulders and crouch down while others make a Right-Hand Star over the top.

-- Centers Star Right with their right hand two then Star Left with their left hand two.

Dosado and Arm Turns:

-- Opposites Dosado (just ends, just centers, or all dancers) (or Right or Left Arm Turn)

-- Right ends (or Left ends) Dosado (or Arm Turn). 

-- Centers turn opposite right, turn their right opposite left, turn their left opposite right and original opposite left to home. 

Lines of Three: 

-- Outside dancer of ONE Line lead that line around the TWO Line.

Progression: 

-- TWO’s make arches while ONE’s dive under (pass right shoulder). 

-- Lines of 3 together do a half Dosado (or Dosado once and a half) to face a new line.

-- Lines Weave (all 3 together half Dosado then left half Dosado) to face the third.

-- Single File Promenade to the right around the other line and face the next three.
