Yep.. I often call Chorus Jig as a triplet.. In B2 the ones swing their way to the bottom of the set. I wouldn't THINK OF calling Chorus Jig for a beginning group BUT as a triplet it works well and it's a really nice way to TEACH contra corners without dancers getting mixed up about who their first and second contra corners are..
