Here's my favorite triplet for teaching Contra Corners:

DAVE’S TOLEDO TRIPLET (3 cpls proper)

By Dave Sebolt

A1

All six circle L

All six circle R (back to place)

A2

Bottom couple up the middle (others slide down)

All P. dosidos

B1

Middle couple contra corners 

(P. R, first corner L; P. R, second corner L)

B2

All P. B&S

… (end facing across, form circle of 6)

First corners on R diag.  Second corners on L diag. I prefer skip-change step.

Both couples turn contra corners each time through the dance

Any suggestions on contra corners dances? None have been called at our local dance for years now, and I want to try and re-introduce the move. I've been calling for a few years and think it's a good time to try, but I haven't collected any contra corners dances yet so I'd like to start with something as straightforward as possible.

Chorus Jig seems like the natural choice, but I noticed that basically every video I could find of it uses the same tune. How rigid is this tradition? What if the band doesn't have this in their repertoire? Will the contra police raid the dance hall if I call this choreography to a different tune?
