Would love to get suggestions for simpler contras containing a
hey-for-three with 3 people. Looking to set a foundation with the sequence
in the earlier part of an evening. Ideally a duple minor but willing to
consider other settings.
Yes, I'm working through the Caller's Box listings but it would be great to
have suggestions from personal experience.
Thanks,
Don

Hi Don,
You could try http://contrafusion.co.uk/Dances/HeyDown.html
For a more contra feel change B2 to Neighbour Swing; Long Lines Go Forward
& Back.
You could do http://contrafusion.co.uk/Dances/TheDolphinsF8.html as a
Shetland Reel: #1 Man lets his arms hang down and offers his hands behind his back; #1
Lady hooks onto his hands. So #1s are a single unit for a three-“person” hey. Change the
terminology to Down the Hall in Lines of Four (4); Fall Back (4) and Balance instead of
Set.
Happy dancing,
John

Hi, back to close the loop on this one. Thanks for the helpful replies here
- I also posted this to the "Rising Callers..." group on Facebook and got
several suggestions there as well:
Alan Prince Winston's HEYLOFT and HEY, HEY IN THE HAYLOFT
Flashy Sorrell Mare by Rich Goss
Blackbirds of Spring by Al Olson
Pat Shaw's Walpole Cottage
and several ECD dances.
I ended up using Proofreader's Triplet (I wanted to avoid the risk of
people getting lost beyond the minor set in a dance with the Heys on the
side). One group in the hall had difficulty with that dance but I now know
what to stress to help avoid how they got confused. It set the stage well
for what I wanted to try later, which was this:
