My two favorites for teaching the whole hey to new dancers are Flirtation Reel (Tony Parkes) and Carousel (Tom Hinds). In both cases, you start and end the hey in the same place, facing the same person (neighbor and partner, respectively), then go into a swing with them (by way of a gypsy or balance). In Butter, you come out of the hey into the progression, which is slightly less easy.
