When teaching a Dolphin Hey to people who are not familiar with the concept I get the leading person to put their hands behind them and the trailing person to hold those hands, then I get them to dance the hey for three without the active couple trading places with each other. Once they understand the main track that they have to follow then I explain the trading of places at each end of the hey. One of the keys to success with that is to persuade the leading person to go wide at the end of the line, so that the trailer can turn in front of them.
