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

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.
