Hi Jillian,
How exciting to have a real live slot! I hope that goes really well
for you.
I danced Tom Hinds' The Carousel recently and was reminded of what a
great dance it is.
The Carousel
by Tom Hinds
Duple improper
A1 Long lines forward & back
Ladies Allemande L 1+1/2 to face your partner
A2 Everyone pass Partner by the R shoulder to start a Hey for 4
(pass Ls in the middle and Rs on the sides-- PR, GL, NR, LL)
B1 Partner Balance & Swing (can also Gypsy instead of balance)
B2 Circle L 3/4
Neighbor Swing
This is a slightly atypical Hey for the experienced dancer because
you pass by the L in the center, but the beginners don't know any
differently. At least it *starts* by the R shoulder, which really
flows coming out of the allemande.
I would orient everybody after the ladies allemande by having
everyone face their partner with the ladies roughly back to back in
the center and gents facing in.
Good luck with the dance! :)

Hi Jillian!
Welcome to the list and glad to hear about your guest spot!
Ditto on Joy's posting - The Carousel by Tom Hinds is one of my "most called
Hey" dances. I also keep it on hand in my "just in case" group of
dances....
To add to Joy's teaching notes, in the A1:
A1 Long lines forward & back
Ladies Allemande L 1+1/2 to face your partner
I find it helpful when calling the dance the first few times through (except the first
time through), after LL F&B, to prompt the Ladies "Ladies look RIGHT (to a NEW
lady), and allemande Left (or turn by the Left)...."
Let us know how it goes and what you end up calling!
hugs,
Karen Fontana

Hi Jillian,
Have fun with your dance! Let me add my endorsement to The Carousel as a
good first dance with a hey. It helps for beginners to start and end
with their partner. It also lets you, when there is confusion, say "find
your partner and swing!"
Another dance that I like as a first hey of the evening, but doesn't
work for your situation since it's becket:
Heart of Glass
Cary Ravitz
becket
A1 Cir. L 3/4, pass thru
Neighbor swing
A2 Gents Al. L 1+1/2
Star promenade across
B1 Full Hey Ladies lead RS
B2 Partner Bal. & Sw.
Best of luck,
Chris
