Hi Jillian, Here is a simple but great hey for four dance: Ted Crane's 'Slippery Swing', which I learned from Mary Desrosier's calling at the Old Songs Festival with a very mixed group of festival dancers: Becket A1: Circle L all the way around With partner slide left and circle left with new Neighbors 3/4. A2: Dosido this neighbor, swing neighbor B1: full hey for four across the set: women pass R Shldrs B2: Women cross again, passing right shoulders, swing partner. Good luck, Peter Amidon

Hi folks! I am just getting signed up to the list, after a busy couple of months since the Caller's course at the American Music and Dance Week at Pinewoods. I know some of you out there in list-serve-land, and look forward to getting to know others. One of our local callers, Bev Bernbaum, has graciously offered to let me call a dance at the Saturday, November 11th dance of our Toronto Country Dancer's series. I will call dance #4 of the night, and Bev has requested that I call something with a Hey for 4. In the interests of building community, as well as my dance repertoire, I was wondering if some of you have some suggestions. You can reply to me here on the list, or to me directly at jillian(a)permaculture.net . Thank you very much!

New subject: "Hey" there! (Needs to be an Improper Dance)

The dance that I frequently use as a first dance with a Hey is: Flirting Attempt Marian Hepburn (adapted by G. Marshall) A1 N B&S A2 Circle L 3/4 P Sw B1 LL F&B Women Chain B2 Hey If you've got a lot of new folks, when people first start out, have them look past their current neighbor for their next neighbor. Tell them that they're going to need to look for this person in a few minutes, and then remind them of that right before the Hey. That can help them get oriented out of the hey, because that's where they're likely to have problems if they have them at all -- coming out of the hey (or out of the confusion that was supposed to be a hey) and not knowing where to go. Good Luck! Jack Mitchell At 06:38 PM 10/29/2006, you wrote:

Thanks! I like the "slide left, then circle with New Neighbours." I will definitely add this to my list of "soon to be called" dances. For my immediate need, I forgot to mention in my original email that Bev also requested that the dance I call be IMPROPER (when I wrote my original email to the group I felt that I was missing something - oops!).

I agree with others - "The Carousel" and "Delphiniums and Dasies" are two of my most oft-called 'hey' dances. Let me throw out two more: Title: Roll in the Hey Author: Lisa Greenleaf (I think!) Formation: duple minor, improper A1: Circle left (8); neighbor swing (8) A2: Circle left .75 (8); partner swing (8) B1: Long lines (8); ladies chain (8) B2: Hey for four Title: Hey in Barn Author: Chant Guthrie Formation: duple minor, improper A1: neighbor balance and swing (16) A2: ladies chain (8); ladies start R sh .5 hey (8) B1: partner balance and swing (16) B2: ladies chain (8); ladies start R sh .5 hey (8)
