Re: [Callers] dances with down-the-halls

Here's a fun twist. "Hickman's Hey" There is half a hey when you get the bottom of the hall, then you finish the hey when you get back home. Hickman's Hey A1 Down the Hall, four in line (Ones in middle) ½ Hey (Start facing in, ones pass right, End where partner was) A2 Up the Hall Finish the Hey B1 One’s Allemande Left 1 1/2 Neighbor Swing B2 One’s Balance & Swing collected the dance and he did not know the actual name, nor the author. Also, it seems that the B1 and B2 parts vary (the A1 and A2, being what makes the dance distinctive, do not), but this is how I learned it and how I call it. -cynthia -----Original Message----- From: callers-bounces(a)sharedweight.net [mailto:callers-bounces@sharedweight.net] On Behalf Of JoLaine Jones-Pokorney Sent: Thursday, August 29, 2013 4:58 PM To: callers-request(a)sharedweight.net; callers(a)sharedweight.net Subject: [Callers] dances with down-the-halls Hi Everyone - Many of our easier dances include down-the-halls, but there are so many ways to come back up! There's turn alone, and turn as a couple of course, but there's also sliding doors, right-hand-high-left-hand-low, loop-de-loop, cloverleaf. What are your favorite dances that include an unusual down-the-hall? I've thought of putting together a program that highlights all the different ways to go down the hall. I think there is a wide enough variety in these dances that it could be doable without boring the dancers.
