This is a building block. I would never call another contra corners in the
same evening. In St. Louis, where we often dance contra corners, there
would rarely be the need for "contra corners for dummies" version. I did
call it once inSt. Louis this last year, but that was to help revive the

Linda Leslie's Corner Triplet is the dance that I'll often use to teach
Contra Corners. I call it every year or two.
That said, I call Chorus Jig at roughly every other dance I call (so
roughly 3-4 times per year), often as the second-to-last dance of the
evening, and I don't really worry about p
But I’m guessing that you do things like:
Neighbour Swing, Circle Left 3/4, Partner Swing
multiple times in an evening.
I would much rather do Contra Corners multiple times! :-)
Happy dancing,

I think there are certain figures that define a dance. butterfly whirl,
rory-o-more, zipper, etc. I put contra corners in this category. Heys are not
as defining (in my opinion) and can be spread around the program more easily (I
include petronella in this same category) - but I till try to
Mac,
Callers do that all the time with hey for four--which I think is harder
for inexperienced dancers than contra corners because there's less
connection with the other dancers.

My concern with introducing CC in triplet is if you do that and then turn
around and do it in a contra you have done it twice in one program - and
probably very close together. I wouldn't want to do that

Ted's Triplet #7 is my go-to dance for introducing contra corners.

You can find Melanie Axel-Lute's "Down by the Riverside" here:

Like many others, I recommend a triplet or 3-face-3. You're not going
out of your minor set, and not everyone's active all the time.
I recommend:
Corner Triplet (Linda Leslie)
Melanie's Triplet (Melanie Axel-Lute)
Microchasmic Triplet (Ann Fallon)
or
Down by the Riverside (3-face-3 by Melanie Ax
Hannah,
I whole heatedly double the recommendation for Corner Triplet
by Linda Leslie.
It even works w/ 4 cpls, as the top cpl becomes
the bottom cpl, (then essentially out 1 rd) everyone moving up 1.
Good luck,
Paul

I used this dance again just the other night for a mixed capabilities
crowd. It has so few moving parts that it's easy to focus on the CC
sequence.

In my dance community a proper dance won’t help because everyone dances all the
roles so training folks to look for certain genders isn’t a good idea (and in
my opinion never is). Inste

If you ever do triplets at your dance, you could teach the figure in a
triplet first. Ted's Triplet #7 uses it, if I recall correctly.

I’d make sure that the dancers had already successfully danced every other move
in the dance you want to call with contra corners. That way you could focus on
the contra corners and the dancers would understand where they would be at the
beginning and end of the move.

Hi all, first time posting here!
I'm new-ish to calling and I've yet to call contra corners. I think I'm up
for the challenge and could teach the figure itself, but I still think it's
a tricky one for dancers in all but the most experienced crowds. A few
callers I know have advised me to build up
