These consist of two Triangles, whose center-most dancers are working with the furthest outside dancers in a Triangle.
Examples of Interlocked Triangles:
Caution: Callers are cautioned that Interlocked Triangles were added to C-2 in 2010 and they have never received much use even at C-3 or C-4. While the entire “family” was added and defined, some of its members (e.g., Outside Interlocked Triangles) are very difficult to see and don’t necessarily dance well. Caller judgment needs to be exercised.
