Here's another with that circle-hey figure, this one by Rich Mohr.
I got it from Nils Fredland at the Gypsy Meltdown this year.
Crowflight (written for Crowfoot)
Improper, starts in long waves, gents out/ladies in
A1. B the wave, slide R, swing the next N
A2. Circle L 3/4, half hey (a la Mood Swings)
B1. P B+S
B2. Gents alle. L 1 1/2, N alle. R 1 1/4 to long wave

Well, since we seem to be in the 'mood' for
variations on a theme,
here is
one of mine.
35 4 THE ROSENS
Becket
2006
Written to celebrate Bruce and Sue Rosen's 35th Wedding Anniversary
A1 Circle 3/4 to a hey
A2 Neighbor gypsy meltdown
B1 Crosstrail past current neighbor, next neighbor balance and
wrap to a
cuddle
B2 Give and take
Notes:
The 'circle 3/4 to a hey' is the movement stolen from Mood Swings,
definitely my favorite transition, and a wonderful contribution by
Sue to
zesty contras. To teach it I get everyone to circle 3 places and
then ask
the men to let go of their partner and do another step around the
circlewhilst helping their neighbor bend round to face them so that
everyone is in
a line of four across the set.
The balance should be two handed and the wrap movement (still
holding both
hands from the balance) consists of the man raising his left hand
and moving
clockwise, passing right shoulders, to the other side of the woman
whilstturning the woman counter clockwise so that they end up
facing in (same as
doing a star through) in a cuddle (as in swing or cajun). The old
adagethat a picture is worth a thousand words was never truer.
Demonstrate it
first and then use the words!

Here's a little shameless self-promotion for the dance I wrote
based
on Sue's dance. I wanted that great circle -> hey -> balance &
swing
interaction with my partner:
Mood Ring Lisa Sieverts
BECKET - sawtooth
1. on left diagonal, circle left halfway with next couple, roll
away
(woman roll partner from left to right)
2. W allemande LEFT 1 ½
3&4. NEIGHBOR balance & swing
5. Circle left ¾, men roll partner from left to right
6. ½ hey, men start by the LEFT
7&8. PARTNER balance and swing

Here are the moves for Mood Swings:
Mood Swings - Sue Rosen
Improper
A1: Long lines forward and back
on your way back roll away w/1/2 sashay
(ladies rolling to the right of their N?s along the set)
Gents allemande left 1 1/2
A2: Partner balance and swing
B1: Circle left 3/4 and ?flatten? (see note) into a
1/2 hey (Start pass N by rt sh)
B2: Neighbor balance and swing
After the circle left 3/4 in B1, use two counts of good
connection
to bring the Gents to the outside of the set
facing in and the
ladies to the center facing out, ready for the half hey. This
action makes Mood Swings a particularly satisfying dance.
