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,
