This dance includes two different chain-like figures involving three couples, neither of which is exactly the formation, originally from Linnea's Strathspey by Tim Wilson, that the RSCDS (in my opinion) misnames the “three couple chain progression”.
In mathematics, a catenary is the curve a chain forms when hanging from its end points.
