If you ever do triplets at your dance, you could teach the figure in a
triplet first. Ted's Triplet #7 uses it, if I recall correctly.

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,
