Andrea,
I think the pause after teaching that first half hey is a good idea. I did
try "pass Neighbor by the right" when I workshopped it, but it implies
continuing the hey and it was slightly confusing.
The problem is that you're facing your neighbor in and out of the set at
that point, so passing through implies across, and passing by right implies
the wrong direction.
I could say "pass neighbor one more time. Pause. Loop right to your new
neighbor...". It's pretty much what I said last night when I called it, but
the pause may ensure no more crossing the set.

Ron et al,
In general, I really like this dance. That loop right will snag people at
least a few times through though, in that it will make them want to gypsy L
with the next, continuing the weave, when they need to make it feel like a
pass through so their body flow can take them into a R gypsy. It might be
worth pointing that out, or teaching them to finish the half hey face N,
pass through R Sh . Just a thought.

Hi callers,
I was hoping this dance, or something very similar, might be identified:
Becket
A1: Gents Alle L 1.5 (8)
1/2 Hey (8) (NR, LL, PR, GL)
A2: N Gypsy R 1/2 (2)* (to face next N)
Next N Gypsy + Sw (14)
B1: Mad Robin (8)**
1/2 Hey (8) (GL, PR, LL, NR)
B2: Gents Pass L (2)
P Gypsy + Swing (14)
* Been debating teaching / calling this as a gypsy or "loop right". I
think either works, but ideas welcome.
** Gents in front, CW
Thanks,
Ron
