Kalia, You said you already had a triplet with contra corners in it, BUT I figured I'd offer this anyway. I often call Chorus Jig as a triplet, (B2 being 1's (bal and) swing to bottom of set and others move up). I found that in a triplet dancers can learn contra corners very easily without the confusion that comes in a duple set. With Chorus Jig, in addition to the distinctive choreography you mentioned, there's also the historical significance of calling a dance 100's of years old I guess.
