[Callers] Major Hey

[Erik Hoffman via Callers]

Hi Richard,

Ah, yes, it's been so long since I danced K&E that I forgot it's sort of one left progressing becket and one right progressing becket side by side and intermingling. Seeing it here reminded me that I want to learn it again, but replied prior to working through it.

And yes, in my dance it's sort of like two becket contras side by side, and when you get to the hey for eight, you just switch to the other line. It could be done in contra formation, and just do a hey for four in that B2.

Thanks for pointing out the differences.

And, I see, it's been a couple months since I've looked at Trad Callers, and forgot that, in order to reply to the list, I've got to put the shareweight email in the "to:" field...

~Erik

Hi Erik,

I’m trying to understand your dance. I *think* it’s not quite the same formation as K & E. In K & E the two couples in the middle of the group of eight are the ones, moving down the hall, and the two couples on the outside are the twos, moving up. I *think* in your dance the ones are the couples starting with right shoulders to the top?  Also in K & E you stay in the same file as you move up or down the hall, but I *think* in your dance you swtich from side to side as in an ordinary four-face-four. Is that correct?  I’m intrigued to try it. Is there by any chance a video of it?

All best wishes,

Richard
