Notes
1
A neutral couple at the top wait two bars then lead down through the approaching 2nd couple and cast back to the neutral position ready for the next round of the dance. At the bottom a neutral couple wait two bars and then cast up round the approaching 1st couple and lead back to the neutral position ready for the next round of the dance.

Michael Barraclough says: Ken Sheffield has compressed the original triple minor dance by using the 'next 2nd couple' as a '3rd couple'. The A1, A2 & B2 are essentially the same as the original. B2 is completely different.
