I don't know of any other published triangular dances like W.o.L.F.,
but we did an impromptu 3-couple triangular version of Rangitoto at a
Christmas party a few years back.  We called it "Lava Cakes."  I don't
remember how exactly we did it though considering Rangitoto is very
geared to four couples...

triangle
set."
 
Oh yes!  And one could have everyone moving on the last four bars  of Flight 
of the Falcon so that the three couples finish in a triangular  formation 
ready for Wind on Loch Fyne.   I'm not kidding.  I  haven't actually
tried it, but 
I think it could be done quite neatly.
 
Of course, one would have to choreograph the dancers out of Wind on Loch  
Fyne afterwards, unless one had another triangular dance, but some way could  
probably be found to do that too.....
