I have heard it described as a sideways do-si-do, while keeping eye contact with your
opposite. But I can't remember who goes in front first - I think it is the person on
the right.

Holy cow, I am feeling so out of it!! I have
heard of
a mad robin but
have no idea how to teach one and I haven't
even
heard of a half
pousett. Would one of you kind master callers
fill me
in when you get a
chance? Thanks!!!

Alan and others have covered both figures nicely.
Possibly the simplest way to teach a Mad Robin I've
seen is have
neighbours (in Beckett formation or on the side) face each
other and do
a see saw (left shoulder back to back/do-si-do). State one
is following
track not doing this figure. Repeat track looking at
partner. Turn to
partner and repeat.
Teaching point would be ladies go inside (slide by each
other in the
middle on their own side, just in front of their partner)
first. With an
astute crowd one might skip the middle repetition having
them simply
follow same track and adoringly gaze at partner.
Fun figure.
