Something seems to be missing.  How do the actives get into the middle?

[Liz and Bill]

Hi Laurie,

 Thanks for that. Shouldn't the comment about 
the progression be

 (2,3,1)?

Cheers, Bill

Re: [Callers] Looking for a contra corner triplet

[Laur]

I KNOW.  I was quite enlightened by my personal google
encounter.

Its called Microchasimic by Ann Fallon

My mentor, Mike Clark, uses this dance in an evening
where they'll be a contra corner dance for a mixed
crowd. Its interesting enough for those who know the
move, but in its intimate setting clear enough for the
newer dancer to understand and be successful with. I
did it this evening, there were a number of people who
were new enough to not have encountered  
'contra cornerS' and I taught it so a newer caller
would not have "fresh meat" when she tried to teach
her dance later in the evening.  Its also easy to
remember. 

I know blah blah blah.

Here's the dance:

Proper/ 3x3/ longways

Forward and Back
Partner Do-si-do (all)

Actives (in the middle) Contra corners
EVERYONE balance and swing Partner 

Face up to the music
Peel the Banana 
Top couple arch all dive through

Actives are now tops, tops bottoms, new actives
(1,3,2)
