My go-to contra corners dance when you have lots of newcomers is Linda Leslie's Corner Triplet. Since it's a triplet, it's natural to have three walk throughs, so everybody gets a chance to do the contra corners figure. It's a triplet, so you'll probably run through it only 9 times, which prevents people from getting too discouraged if they have trouble. The dance is very similar to Chorus Jig, so it's good training for the future.
