successfully danced every other move in the dance you want to call with contra corners.
That way you could focus on the contra corners and the dancers would understand where they
would be at the beginning and end of the move.

Hi all, first time posting here!
I'm new-ish to calling and I've yet to call contra corners. I think I'm up
for the challenge and could teach the figure itself, but I still think it's a tricky
one for dancers in all but the most experienced crowds. A few callers I know have advised
me to build up to a challenging figure like contra corners over the course of an evening
by calling dances that echo the skills the dancers will need later.
With that in mind, what dances would you call early in the evening in a mixed-level group
that would help "teach" dancers the skills they need to be successful at contra
corners?
I've been thinking I should include an easy proper-ish dance, and maybe a dance with
allemandes outside the minor set... anything else come to mind?
Thanks in advance,
