I didn't know it came via Scottish, but that makes sense. It's called
tandem or alternating tandem reels there?
It's not clear to me how it ended up being called a dolphin hey instead of
a falcon hey; but I'm not going to try to change that vernacular.
When I ran it for contras, I had a demo on the floor (jumping down myself
to do it, or working with a couple I had taught ahead of time). If I keep
it rotation, I'll see if I can develop the language to teach it completely
verbally; but for now I'll rely on a demo. I'd also be curious how other
folks teach it; and I'll query some instructors of Scottish and/or English.
It was fun to see Kittyhawk Hornpipe in the RPDLW archive. Thank you Yoyo
for pointing that out. I didn't manage to find a transcription of Nils's
Maggot. What dance did you substitute a dolphin hey into?
It was indeed Kittyhawk Hornpipe that I called.
Martha's dance (in which actually the 2s act as a unit in the hey for 3) is
