This is a building block. I would never call another contra corners in the
same evening. In St. Louis, where we often dance contra corners, there
would rarely be the need for "contra corners for dummies" version. I did
call it once inSt. Louis this last year, but that was to help revive the
triplet.

My concern with introducing CC in triplet is if you
do that and then turn
around and do it in a contra you have done it twice in one program - and
probably very close together. I wouldn't want to do that

Like many others, I recommend a triplet or 3-face-3. You're not going
out of your minor set, and not everyone's active all the time.
I recommend:
Corner Triplet (Linda Leslie)
Melanie's Triplet (Melanie Axel-Lute)
Microchasmic Triplet (Ann Fallon)
or
Down by the Riverside (3-face-3 by Melanie Axel-Lute)
I don't recommend Ted's Triplet #7, because it also includes a proper
right-and-left through, which many people these days are more
unfamiliar with than contra corners.

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,
