Hi Abbie,
If you don’t object to a Sicilian 3x3, I have a dance, Walpole Condo, with
double-contra corners which is surprisingly accessible and has the advantage of
using positional calling. You can find the video at:

There’s a whole thread about Contra Corners Dance at
https://lists.sharedweight.net/hyperkitty/list/[email protected]/message/MKCW5H6YYSTUHRZHKPVIAJKWC2B4TRGB/
which include instructions for Walpole Condo.
Thanx, Ric Goldman

Subject: [Callers] Contra corners recommendations needed
Any suggestions on contra corners dances? None have been called at our local
dance for years now, and I want to try and re-introduce the move. I've been
calling for a few years and think it's a good time to try, but I haven't
collected any contra corners dances yet so I'd like to start with something as
straightforward as possible.
Chorus Jig seems like the natural choice, but I noticed that basically every
video I could find of it uses the same tune. How rigid is this tradition? What
if the band doesn't have this in their repertoire? Will the contra police raid
the dance hall if I call this choreography to a different tune?
