New subject: [Callers] New dance composition, star to next neighbor hey

25 Jun 2018

Here’s one I wrote in back in 1993 (I was ahead of my time?)

Harvesting the Hey
Becket

A1 Left diagonal, right and left thru
   Straight across, right and left thru
A2 Star left once around
   With the NEXT (shadow - leave partners), star right once around
B1 With the previous (the same four as the left hand star), Hey for four (ladies pass
right in the center)
B2 Partners balance and swing

 Here's one I'm familiar with off the top of my head featuring that transition
(called it at NEFFA this year):

 Belmont Romp - Becket - Dan Pearl (var DonV)
 A1 Circle Left 3/4x, Neighbor Swing
 A2 Long Lines Fwd/Back (note next N)
 Star Left 1x to Gents face out, Ladies in
 B1 NEXT Ns Full Hey (Ladies pass LEFT in center)
 B2 Ladies Cross, Partner Swing

 Dan's original is "modified DI" starting with the hey and has a Circle Left
in place of the Long Lines. Page 94 of Give and Take.

 Hi folks, 

 I ran this at a monthly dance, and it was well received; so I figured I'd share it
around. To my knowledge it's new. Please correct me if you know of a prior. 

 The interesting/odd bit is the transition from B2 to A1, where the ladies role comes out
of a left hand star with old neighbors to start a hey by the left shoulder in the middle
with new neighbors. It flows well, but is unexpected.

 Improper, duple minor contra
 A1
 Ladies start full hey by the left
 A2
 Neighbor gyre and swing
 B1
 Circle Left 3/4
 Partner Swing
 B2
 Ladies chain across
 Left Hand Star 1x

 As for the title, well, I was on a presidents and folk music kick. Writing titles is
harder than writing dances...

 Enjoy.
