Triangle FORMATION [C1]:

A Triangle is a 3-dancer formation consisting of 2 Base dancers and an Apex dancer. EN: 10

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


Inpoint Triangles		Outpoint Triangles

Inside Triangle IDENTIFICATION [C1]:

Ignoring the outside two dancers, there is a Triangle on each side. EN: 100

Når man ignorerer de Outside to dansere, er der en Triangle på hver side. DK: 100

Outside Triangle IDENTIFICATION [C1]:

Ignoring the Very Centers, there is a Triangle on each side. EN: 110

Når man ignorerer The Very Centers, er der en Triangle på hver side. DK: 110

In | Out-Center Triangle IDENTIFICATION [C1V]:

From Point-to-Point Diamonds. The In | Out-Facing Center is the Apex of a Triangle. This identification is rarely used. EN: 120

Fra Point-to-Point Diamonds. In/Out-facing Center er "Top" danseren af Trianglen. Denne kombination er kun sjældent brugt. DK: 120


In-Center Triangles		Out-Center Triangles

anyone-Point Triangle IDENTIFICATION [C1V]:

From Twin Diamonds. This identification can be used when both points of the Diamond are facing the same direction. EN: 130

Fra Twin Diamonds. Denne kombination kan bruges hvis begge Points har ansigtsretning In/Out. DK: 130


Beau-Point Triangles		Belle-Point Triangles

anyone-Based Triangles IDENTIFICATION [C1V]:

From setups such as C1 Phantoms where there are several possible Triangles. The anyone dancers are the Base dancers of a Triangle. EN: 140

Fra formationer så som C1 Phantoms hvor der er flere muligheder for Triangles. Anyone danserne er Base-dansere i en Triangle. DK: 140
