Hexagonal Bombast (or "Hex Bomb")

The full name of this figure should be “Bidirectional Hexagonal Bombast”. It is a 1½-length figure that requires 12 bars of music.

Bars 1-4: The first triangle are the “sliders.” They dance counterclockwise to the next position within their triangle.

The second triangle are the “hookers.” They hook clockwise around each other, passing right shoulders with a “basket” clash on beat 3 (the downbeat of bar 2) as they move through the center, advancing two open places within their triangle.

Bars 5-8: Repeat, with second triangles sliding counterclockwise and first triangles hooking clockwise.

Bars 9-12: Repeat, with first triangles sliding and second triangles hooking.

At the end of the figure, the dancers are in back in their home positions.
