I've written a few triple minors. The best are probably TLC Tempest and
Whirlpool.

Both have very low piece count, and can be done in a regular evening.
Beyond that, I'd recommend "Good Times" by Al Olson, replacing the B2 with
(new) lines of three forward and back, ones swing.

On a more serious note, I would like to get my local dance series doing
more-well, actually some!-triple minors. Eventually I’d like to get them to
at least tolerate some of the traditional dances, but the learning curve of
triple minor +plus unfamiliar figures + no swing has always been just too
steep for them to manage. I’ve gone through Zesty Contras for more modern
triples but so far haven’t found one that I think will work-so, what are
your favourite triple minors? What worked-and what didn’t-in introducing
them to a crowd used to at least one swing in every dance, and everybody
moving most, if not all of the time?
Can include contra corners as they are pretty proficient-thanks to 3 years
of including it every time I call!
