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.

My cunning plan, when I was envisioning a huge crowd of 7 or 8 couples*,
was to teach Microchasmic early in the evening to get the contra corners
concept across, and then do Chorus Jig later on. The best laid plans
oft gang agley...
