<div dir="ltr">Nice! I love Dolphin heys! <div><br></div><div>As an aside, I was thinking how great it would be if contra dancers had hey for 3s in their rep so they could more easily adapt a dance if one of their hands-four dropped out for some reason. Then the other couple wouldn't have to go to the bottom. Kind of like when at the end of a 4 x 4 people do it with just the 4 dancers. </div><div><br></div><div>A</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Jun 12, 2016 at 11:36 PM, Luke Donforth via Callers <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:callers@lists.sharedweight.net" target="_blank">callers@lists.sharedweight.net</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div><div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">Hello all,<br><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">I'm sharing a link to a pod of dances I recently wrote:<br><a href="http://www.madrobincallers.org/2016/06/13/dolphinheys/" target="_blank">http://www.madrobincallers.org/2016/06/13/dolphinheys/</a><br>rather than putting all 5 and the descriptions up here.

was at the English Country Dance in Brattleboro before the Dawn Dance,

decided to write contra dances with it. <br><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">For
those of you (like recently me) not familiar with a dolphin hey, it's 4
people doing a hey for 3; with the 1s acting as a unit and trading
leads (like a school of fish) when the reach either end and loop back
in. For instance, at 1:32 in this lovely video of Sapphire Sea:<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g-8LyExynvA" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g-8LyExynvA</a><br clear="all"></div><br><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">I don't have video of the contra dances (although I have called a couple of them at contras and they've worked).</div><br><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">Also, if you just search Dolphin Hey on google, you find:</div><br><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><img src="http://images.8tracks.com/cover/i/000/353/076/qzrlhgo2_500-5519.jpg?rect=73,0,480,480&q=98&fm=jpg&fit=max" alt="" style="margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px" height="175" width="175"></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">Which, given how much time I've spent navel gazing about the move, I admit to thinking is hilarious. </div><br>My favorite <div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small;display:inline">(so far) of the 5 I've written is below.

The dancers will probably get to the partner gypsy a little early. They
can get a little more gypsy, or swoop wideley on the hey.<br><br>Other Notes: The title comes from Carol Ormand’s Kinematic Vorticity, which has the same A1 and B2. </div><span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>-- <br></font></span></div><span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888">Luke Donforth<br></font></span></div><span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><a href="mailto:calling.luke@gmail.com" target="_blank">calling.luke@gmail.com</a><br><div><div><div data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><a href="mailto:Luke.Donev@gmail.com" target="_blank"></a><br></div></div>
