En Triangle er en 3-danser formation bestående af 2 base dansere og en "Top" danser. DK: 10

In a Tandem-Based Triangle the Base dancers form a Generalized Tandem; in a Wave-Based Triangle, the Base dancers form a Generalized Couple. EN: 20

I en Tandem-baseret Triangle er Base danserne i en Tandem. I en Wave baseret Triangle er Base danserne i Mini-Waves. DK: 20

Note: The Base dancers need not be adjacent. E.g., from the Hourglass formation shown above, the Base dancers of the Wave-Based Triangle are far apart. EN: 60

Base danserne behøver ikke at være umiddelbart ved siden af hinanden som eks. i Hourglass formationen vist ovenfor, hvor Base danserne er points i Hourglass og ret langt fra hinanden. DK: 60

Triangle Circulate [C1]:

From a Triangle. Move forward to the next position within the Triangle, turning as necessary to take the original facing direction (or original opposite facing direction, if it is a facing Triangle Circulate) of the dancer who was originally there. EN: 70

Fra en Triangle. Gå fremad til den næste position i Trianglen, og drej som nødvendigt for at indtage den samme ansigtsretning (eller den modsatte ansigtsretning hvis det er en Facing Triangle Circulate) som den danser der oprindelig stod der. DK: 70

Note: As with a Box Circulate or Diamond Circulate, when doing a Triangle Circulate, maintain the handedness of the formation (i.e., keep the same shoulder toward the Center of the Triangle). EN: 80

Som i en Box Circulate eller i en Diamond Circulate, skal man ved en Triangle Circulate bibeholde same handhold i formationen (dvs. vende samme skulder ind mod Centeret af Trianglen). DK: 80

Inpoint | Outpoint Triangle IDENTIFICATION [C1]:

From Twin Diamonds: the In | Out-Facing Point is the Apex of a Triangle. The other Point of the same Diamond must be facing the opposite direction. EN: 90

Fra Twin Diamonds. Den in- eller outfacing Point er "Top" danseren af sin Triangle. Den anden Point i den samme Diamond skal have modsat ansigtsretning. DK: 90
