Re: [Callers] ricochet or push-back hey - Tapsalteerie

Back in Feb 2008, Jean Francis said: "I am looking for some dances with push-back or ricochet heys. I have only found one... Heard of another called Tapsalterrie, but can't find." As it so happens, I was searching the list for discussion about how to teach that very dance! So here it is: Carlson Tapsalteerie Becket contra, improper Author unknown. A1 (8) LL F&B (8) Gents Al-R 1½, pass P by L-Sh A2 (16) Tapsalteerie Hey: Ladies cross ½ hey, Gents push back Gents cross ½ hey, Ladies push back B1 (16) P – B&Sw B2 (8) Ladies Al-R 1½ (8) N – Sw I tried calling it for the first time last week, and the mutual ricochet-hey proved challenging for dancers. Any suggestions for clear, efficient explanation of that move would be most appreciated. also, does anyone know the author? BTW, "Tapsalteerie" is Scots for "topsy-turvy. Great word, eh? Jean, hope this can still do you some good. :-p Tina
