== 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.
