[Callers] My First Triple Minor

Hi Judy, I like Alamo Triad from Give-and-Take. Hands Six from the top. #1s Improper, #2s and #3s Becket, now hold hands in a circle of six - #1s keep your backs to the band. It is Double Progression, so you don't spend so long out at the end. It has a swing. The #2s and #3s keep switching sides, but do the same movements so there is less confusion. They are all standard contra moves. You just need to really make sure that they understand that only one of the two couples out at the top can become the next #1s! It may help them to start understanding some of the concepts.

Eventually I'd like to get them to at least tolerate some of the traditional dances, but the learning curve of triple minor +plus unfamiliar figures + no swing has always been just too steep for them to manage. I've gone through Zesty Contras for more modern triples but so far haven't found one that I think will work-so, what are your favourite triple minors? What worked-and what didn't-in introducing them to a crowd used to at least one swing in every dance, and everybody moving most, if not all of the time? Can include contra corners as they are pretty proficient-thanks to 3 years of including it every time I call!
