I guess I’ll chime in. About ten years ago I wrote a dance with a modified contra corners, one I’m not sure exists in other dances. I did try it out at my local dance. To my surprise, the modified contra corners was an easy teach, even with some less experienced dancers in attendance. The dance itself got mixed reviews. But I guess I’ll share it here in case it is of use to anyone, or can inspire something better.
Chorus Reel Sicilian Circle Richard Allen Fischer Formation: Duple Improper Circle. Ones facing CCW, Twos facing CW. Dance begins with Ones joining near hands while Twos stand normal distance apart. A1) Everyone walks forward, Ones passing between Twos, two steps per pass, passing Neighbors 1 & 2; Swing Neighbor 3. End swing facing across to Partner A2) In current group of four, Ladies dosido, Gents dosido [Use dosidos to adjust spacing.] B1) All turn modified contra corners (in which everyone is moving). Allemande R with Partner 3/4, allemande Same-Sex Neighbor by L 1x, allemande Partner by R 1/2, allemande the other Same-Sex Neighbor by L 1x. B2) All balance and swing Partner. End facing new neighbors in direction of progression, Ones with near hands joined, Twos separating a bit from partner. Suggested tune: Chorus Jig! Best wishes to all, and thanks to Abbie for the original question.
