What is the difference between a dance caller and a savings bond?
A savings bond eventually matures.and makes money! (said with a grin, of
course!)
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!
Thanks everyone,
Judy Greenhill

Judy, I really like Sackett's Harbor.. Yes contra corners. No swing,,.. but certainly
enough partner interaction for the actives..
you can find it all over the internet..

The dance you’re looking for is:
KING OF THE KEYBOARD
Ted Sannella (for Bob McQuillen; first danced June 18, 1989)
Triple Minor; Proper
Two Swings, Actives & Neighbor 2’s
A1) Actives Swing (end facing down); Swing Neighbor Below (face across)
A2) Forward six and back; Actives Allemande Left 1-1/4 to center of lines of three across
B1) Forward six and back (across); Actives Allemande Left 1-1/4 to progressed position,
then take right hand and...
B2) Actives Turn Contra Corners
As they conclude Contra Corners, actives resist the urge to balance, but move right into a
partner swing as the dance begins again. This dance can really fly. Published in Larry
Jennings’ Give-and-Take.

I've written a few triple minors. The best are probably TLC Tempest and
Whirlpool.
http://chrispagecontra.awardspace.us/dances/index.htm#whirlpool
http://chrispagecontra.awardspace.us/dances/dlist2.htm#tlc-tempest
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.
