Chaperoned Chain Progression
An online definition may be found here.
Bars: 8.
For three couples. The middle couple casts clockwise to end on the center line above or below the set, while the others partner right turn three quarters, also ending on the center line. The very centers turn left once and a half, while the others join hands with the person beside them in promenade hold and chase half round the set. The original middle couple continue the momentum of the chase, ending where they started, while the others partner right turn three quarters to end progressed on their own sides of the set.
