New subject: 4 facing 4 dance with a hey for 8

29 Dec 2011

Hmm. "Devil's Dervish" (Linda's variation of Al Olson's
"Devil's Duty")
does not fit the 'someone from California' criterion.

And "Major Hey" does not fit the 'improper formation' criterion. (For
anyone who loves "Major Hey, but does not love 40-bar dances, Carol Ormand
has a 32-bar variation!)

However, i did a bit of sleuthing... there's a Chris Page variant of the
same Al Olson dance, called "The Dancer's Duty" - which fits both criteria!

It's on his page http://chrispagecontra.awardspace.us/dances/index.htm

Hoping that is what you sought,
Tavi

...
  Hanny, could. It be devil's dervish by Linda
Leslie?

 All best,
 Kim

 I failed to note it down immediately after dancing it... Maybe one of you
 can
 fill in the considerable gaps, please:
 1) The choreography stems from 'someone in California'.
 2) Formation: two improper contra lines, close together for a double  dance
     across the whole set
 3) there's a hey for all eight in it
 Your turn....
 Thanks, Hanny

 "Major Hey" by Erik Hoffman? It also has Rory o' More slides in it,
 and is 40 bars. Though I think it's a Becket 4-face-4.

 Might be Major Hey by Erik Hoffman.  Here's a link to a previous  discussion
  and description on this list.
