Thank you all!
I think it was indeed Beneficial Tradition. I now vaguely remember there
being a wavy line in the dance, so that must be the one! I'm glad to learn
of the triplet and XYZ dances as well. It was hard to search for the dance
since the shouting bit isn't always mentioned in the written choreography.
Thanks for your help,
Kyla

Beneficial Tradition does have that in the B2
Here is a video of a dance by Bob Green (dance name is XYZ) that has that
figure in the b1 and b2

pumping their fists into the air and saying something. I think they were
saying "hey," but I'm not completely sure. I remember that the dance
seemed
like it was at a typical contra dance level of difficulty and was a duple
minor, not a simple family dance.
