Beaux of Albany
Formation: Longways, triple minor proper, American contra.Difficulty: 3
Style: American
| A1: | 1s and 2s balance and swing with partner. |
| A2: | 1s and 2s follow each other down the centre; each turns as a couple and come back home. 1s cast to second place (progression). |
| B1: | Top two couples, right hand star; left hand star. |
| B2: | Bottom two couples right and left through. |
The inactive couples are alternately 2s and 3s. A 2nd couple arriving at the top waits out 2 turns before coming in as 1s; at the bottom, a 1st couple finding itself with only one other couple to dance with should either dance with a ghost couple in 3rd place, to get the progression, or else simply change places with that one couple.
On the Progressions page is an explanation of the triple-minor progression.
