I would agree with that, although the 1/2 hey is over when the gents pass in the center, so it would be more like a 5/8 hey, with 2 beats of that hey coming in the A2. "Loop right" seems to be a way to avoid calling it part of the hey, and since it's the start of a new phrase, I can see why one would want to differentiate it from the hey.

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
