"Three couples in a circle" aptly describes it, thank-you, John. I guess I
didn't think of it that way since it is more of a longways (shortways) set than
a circle, but it also has circle-type moves.
And to Andrea- the moves are:
A1 lines forward and back (1's meet each other, 2's meet 3's)
dosido across (1's with partner, 2's and 3's with opposite-sex
"neighbor")
B1 top 4 individuals LH star
bottom 4 (2's & 3's) RH star
A2 shadow seesaw
partner dosido
B2 2's allemande left on (slightly) left diagonal
3's allemande right on (slightly) right diagonal
C Right & left grand (ccw, starting RH to partner) halfway around
partner promenade the ring to progress
B3 partner balance and swing
Yes, it's a crooked dance, written specifically for it's own tune. And
complex-- not for the inexperienced by any means.
