I've actually had good luck by taking some of the early chestnuts that were done in
triple minor formation and tweaking them a bit into triplets. I call at events put on by
the National Park Service with a core group of reenactors in historic dress. Members of
the general public join in as they wish, so the make-up on the floor is quite varied.
Instead of the top couple casting off one place, I have them cast to the bottom of the
triplet. I also tend to convert the right & left thrus into circle left/circle right,
or a two-hand turn with partner.

Yep.. I often call Chorus Jig as a triplet.. In B2 the ones swing their way to the bottom
of the set. I wouldn't THINK OF calling Chorus Jig for a beginning group BUT as a
triplet it works well and it's a really nice way to TEACH contra corners without
dancers getting mixed up about who their first and second contra corners are..
