A2  hey for 4, start by passing R
B1  gypsy and swing P (or B & S)

Also:

Columbia Contra 
duple improper contra
by Gene Hubert

A1  Allem R N aprox 1 1/4, W allem L 1/2, allem R P X1 ending with Women facing each other
in the middle
A2  hey for 4, W pass L to begin
B1  B & S P

I call both of these quite frequently.  Both have timing which is forgiving for
beginners.

intermediate contras to introduce the hey to a group that includes many beginners. and/or
club square dancers.

more.  I like Butter because the flow from ladies chain into a RH hey is great, and
because all the other calls are introduced earlier in most evening.
