 +==== Ottawa triple minor variant ====
 +
 +My own attempt at a danceable choreography (2026-10-23)
 +us a triple minor proper as follows:
 +
 +<code>
 +A1 M1 between W2 and W3 to between C3 while
 +   W1 between M2 and M3 to between C2,
 +   Set to each other TWICE
 +A2 C1 both cast R to 2nd place (C2 make room)
 +   Cross and turn L so M1 between C2, W1 between C3
 +   Set  TWICE
 +B1 Cast over L shoulder and hey on own side (R Shoulder
 +   from middle position, which is finishing point)
 +B2 4 changes of R&L (top 2 couples)
 +</code>
 +
 +If danced as 3C set, actives move to bottom at end of
 +R&L and C3 move up. Suggest actives go down middle
 +and C3 up outside in case C1 is starting next round.
