Many years ago, Ralph Sweet told me that teaching a
hey is easy if you've done a full chain prior to the
hey. If it's the most typical design- women pass
right shoulders to begin- the path for the women is
exactly the same as a chain, without using hands. The
men wait 2 counts, and then follow the women.
If necessary, you can let the women walk the hey alone
first, then have them men walk their part, and put it
together. I've had no problems teaching a hey as long
as I've taught the chain before.

Thanks to everyone who so generously sent me
suggestions for easy dances to use in the fourth
slot that I, as a new caller will call at our
Toronto Country Dancer's dance that Bev Bernbaum
will be calling next Saturday.
I have attached a Word document that has all the
dances, some of which are annotated with teaching
notes.
I have two requests: I need the details of two
dances: First Hey by Paul Balliet, and "Kiss of a
Lifetime" bu Peter Stix (I could not find either
through an internet search. [A suggestion: Please
post the info to the whole list, so once someone has
sent the info, others need not bother. Thanks!]
The other request is for suggestions on how to teach
a hey. (I am a little bit terrified.)
Please note, that I have not chosen a dance yet, but
need to do so by tomorrow, so I cam open to
suggestions from the list I sent (including the two
above) and any other dances that you think are
suitable. [Note: If I am too terrified to teach a
Hey, then Bev has graciously offered that I can
choose another easy dance, so I am open to
suggestions on that front as well.]
Thanks for 'Sharing the Weight', and helping me out!
I have learned a lot from you out there in List
Serve Land so far, and I am looking forward to more!
