Take All of the Credit, None of the Blame by Larry Elderman has a full hey with bonus
balances that spans 24 beats, if this is similar to what you're looking for:
A1 N dosido 1.25 to short wavy lines (8); bal R-L (4), N alle rt 1/2, men alle left 1/2
A2 give P your right hand and bal (4), 1/2 (pass by right) to the other side (8), give P
your right hand and balance
B1 1/2 hey, P swing
B2 prom; ladies chain

Maia,
I wrote a simple square "Hey Square, Let's Dance" that has the hey crossing
phrases.
It must be called Heads, Sides, Heads, Sides to have a complete mixer square.
A1 Heads Lead Right & Circle to a Line, F&B
A2 Ladies Chain, Start a Full Hey
B1 Finish the Hey, Swing the one you meet
B2 Promenade
I have only shared this with one caller, and she remarked that the hey crosses phrases,
and she would not use it.
I must often use it wit singing calls, or square dance music that has strong 8 beat
phrasing.
Bob Isaacs "To Turn a Phrase" has the Oval crossing phrases. I have danced it
when it feels good, but also when it did not. I think the music selection is more
critical.

Hi folks,
I'm running up against a wall in a dance I'm currently writing, and it's
making me wonder: what dances, if any, have a full hey that spans two sections* and really
WORKS? I feel like in general, if I danced such a dance, I would roll my eyes at the
choreographer "breaking the rules", but I can also imagine delightful dances a
hey spanning two phrases that justify their own existence and feel great to dance.
Thoughts? Dances to point me to?
As always, in dance,
Maia
* e.g. hey occurs during the last eight counts of B1 and the first eight of B2
