This is a triple minor I learned from Gene Hubert in the 80s. I don’t know the name or
author.
It’s very active for all couples.
Dip and Dive Triple Minor
ones improper
A1 ones face down twos and threes face up
Dip and Dive the minor set (twos arch, ones dive, middle couple always arching, quick turn
as couple at ends)
til all home
A2 ones balance and swing Neighbors, 3s balance and swing partner
1s and 2s break swing facing across the set, 3s facing up the set.
B1 Circle 6 hands 1x around (16 counts)
B2 Lines forward and back
ones only do si do (or 1s swing)
2s and 3s can step in to be ready for next round of Dip and Dive

Hi Emily,
Alamo Triad is a good introduction to the concept:

<http://www.kempt.net/~entropy/zcs/zcs-part-4.pdf>
Just make sure that the two couple that exit at the top each time know that
they can’t both be the next #1 and should form an orderly queue.
Happy dancing,
John

Subject: [Callers] Really fun and accessible triple minors?
Hey contra calling friends :)
I have an admission ... ... ... I have NO triple minors in my card box. I've been
doing certain kinds of gigs (contras + ONS + contra/square nights) and it's so easy
not to call triple minors.
HOWEVER, I'm lately trying to 'up my game' to expand my repertoire.
Might you have a favorite triple minor you could share?
I'm looking for dances that are SUPER fun and relatively accessible.
Thoughts?
Thanks for the consideration!
Emily
