[Callers] Contra Corners Dance

[John Sweeney]

Hi Bill,

              Just get them to line up in contra lines and say, "Hands six
from the top; hold hands in a circle of six; spread out and find some space
then make two lines of three facing three."

 

              Then you just have to sort out any odd couples at the bottom.

 

            Happy dancing,                          

                   John

I agree about not wanting people coming from both sides. For just plain
teaching the contra corners figure, I like Chorus Jig done as a triplet..
(B2 = actives swing to end of set 3's move up). I have done this dance with
total beginner groups with no problem. The down side of doing a triplet, I
guess, is the "herding cats" aspect of setting up many short sets..
