[Callers] Re: Valentine dances

Always happy for an opportunity to self-promote ;-) Here’s my Hey Sweetheart, which features what I believe is called a “Sweetheart Hey” in some locales. Most heys have same-gender-role dancers passing in the center of the set. Here, it’s partners who pass in the center, giving them the opportunity to gaze lovingly in each other’s eyes. What could be more romantic? See it danced here: https://youtu.be/wZOp0dNXRao *Hey Sweetheart by Elizabeth Bloom Albert * Improper formation. Uneven choreography! (CALLER: I.D. 1’s and 2’s!) *For my favorite dance partner, Dan Albert * A1 [With 1’s in center:] (16) Down the Hall (and back; turn alone) [When back to place: Maintain line of 4, but ALL turn to face center] A2 (16) 1’s start a L-shoulder Hey* B1 [3rd time 1’s meet in center:] (6) 1’s L-shoulder Round 1 x (10) Neighbor Swing B2 (8) Circle L (8) 1’s only(!): Swing in center; end swing facing new neighbors NOTES: A2: This is one of those rare dances where partners will be together in the center of the set during a Hey. If they are feeling up to it, partners can lock eyes as they pass in center, backing out on a (right) diagonal. A standard-issue left shoulder hey will, of course, work just as well. https://sites.google.com/view/lizalbertcontra/home On Thu, Jan 30, 2025 at 10:31 AM Maia McCormick via Contra Callers < contracallers(a)lists.sharedweight.net&gt; wrote: -- * Elizabeth Bloom Albert *
