[Callers] Triple Minors in the Midwest

Hello All, I was considering adding some of the Chestnuts to my calling repertoire, and I was wondering if I could get your best advice on approaching triple minor dances in the Midwest (Lawrence Kansas). I believe most of the contra dancers here have never seen such a critter, although a very few will have seen it at an English Country dance. I was considering calling a triplet or a duple minor dance with contra corners in the first half to make sure everyone was comfortable with that figure, and then calling "Sackett's Harbor" in the second half, which turns the minor set 90 degrees (or 270 degrees, to be technical) so all the men are all facing the stage and the women are facing down. I want to lay out the rules of triplets very succinctly: Ones remain ones all the way down the hall, while the twos become threes and then twos again as they progress up. Threes also alternate roles, becoming twos and then threes again. At the top, the first couple out waits out two iterations of the dance before becoming ones. At the bottom, the threes must trade places with the ones or they will remain out indefinitely. Are these rules accurate as stated? Any suggestions from New England? Elsewhere in the Midwest? Points beyond? --Jerome -- Jerome Grisanti 660-528-0858 660-528-0714 http://www.jeromegrisanti.com
