If you are interested in a triple version of Box the Compass, I’ve got one I wrote:
Box the Compass Triplet
Triplet, middle couple improper
May 25, 2016
A1 Middle couples box the compass*
A2 (Continue box the compass)
B1 Middle couple balance and swing, end facing down
B2 Bottom two couples balance the ring, circle left halfway^
Top two couples balance the ring, circle left halfway
* Box the compass is contra corners except that one goes to all four corners. The middle
couples, because they are crossed over to start, will have their first two corners be of
the same gender role, and the last two corners will be the opposite gender role. Of
course, because it is a triplet, if someone goes to the wrong person, unless they want the
same one their partner is heading for, things will work out.
^ Point out that as the bottom couple ciircles to the middle they can do a little flip to
face up and balance the next ring.
Note: The top couple occasionally gets into trouble if they insist on swinging along with
the middle couple as they tend to open up facing down and on the wrong side. Not sure if
it's worthwhile warning them or would only encourage impatient behavior that gets in
the way of the middle couple and may mess up the next go-round.

You're probably thinking of "Turn Everyone!" by Al Olson, with a
revised A1 of neighbor balance and swing.
"Them" by Bill Sudkamp also fits the bill.
There's also "Gettin' Jiggy With It" by Luke Donforth, though
that's a
bit ... different.

I meant:
Does anyone have dances where contra corners are turned along, rather than across the
set?
I know I have danced such over the years
