have no idea how to teach one and I haven't even heard of a half

chance? Thanks!!!

Alan and others have covered both figures nicely.
Possibly the simplest way to teach a Mad Robin I've seen is have
neighbours (in Beckett formation or on the side) face each other and do
a see saw (left shoulder back to back/do-si-do). State one is following
track not doing this figure. Repeat track looking at partner. Turn to
partner and repeat.
Teaching point would be ladies go inside (slide by each other in the
middle on their own side, just in front of their partner) first. With an
astute crowd one might skip the middle repetition having them simply
follow same track and adoringly gaze at partner.
Fun figure.
