Long time listener, first-time caller.
Bad puns aside, one of my favorite dances for a half-hey is:
Pride of Charlottesville by Seth Tepfer

The dance has good flow without being dizzying. The dance is easy to call,
simple for beginners, but not boring for the experienced set.
Looks like a nice dance
As to the 3/8ths of a hey (WR, NL, Men R), just as the
ladies are not
across the set at the moment that they pass each other, the men are not
across the set at the moment they pass each other. If the gentlemen
continue all the way to the proper ending-point for the hey instead of
shortcutting to their partner, all the music will be used up, the balance
will be on-time and the day will be saved.
Sounds like you are recommending a 1/2 hey,
although Jim cited video shows dancers using the allotted time for a 3/8 hey.
Cheers, Bill
