dancers.

Subject: [Callers] Contras with a Hey
Hello Folks,
I am relatively new at calling contras and I am looking for some asy to intermediate
contras to introduce the hey to a group that includes many beginners. and/or club square
dancers.
"Butter" by Gene Hubert is my go to dance, but I am looking for a few 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.
I love simple, but different choreography, so I am open to most suggestions.

Delphiniums and Daisies <http://www.jefftk.com/contras/dances/delphiniums>
is an easy one I sometimes use for this purpose.

My two favorites for teaching the whole hey to new dancers are
Flirtation Reel (Tony Parkes) and Carousel (Tom Hinds). In both cases,
you start and end the hey in the same place, facing the same person
(neighbor and partner, respectively), then go into a swing with them (by
way of a gypsy or balance). In Butter, you come out of the hey into the
progression, which is slightly less easy.

Hi Folks,
A longtime lurker leaps in:
Below: Two fairly easy Becket formation dances which present a full hay for four
following a full ladies’ chain … a useful sequence from a pedagogical standpoint, in my
opinion.
First, Peter Stix’s “Purple Hays” (Becket formation)
A1: Ladies chain (over and back)
A2: Hay for four (over and back)
B1: Ladies 1/2 [your politically/socially acceptable term for “gypsy”];
swing partner
B2: 1/2 right and left; circle left 1/2 to original Becket home; with partner, slide
left.
Here are Peter’s A parts followed by different B parts (Lindsey Dono told me that a dancer
suggested this dance be called “Busy Bees”)
A1: Ladies chain (over and back)
A2: Hay for four (over and back)
B1: with Partner, balance and swing
B2: long lines forward & back; circle left (all the way around); with partner, shift
left to new neighbors.
Note: On paper, there isn’t sufficient time for all of B2. However, in actual practice,
the transition from the circle and shift to the ladies’ chain is forgiving enough for
things to flow well.
I believe my B parts to be a little easier for bringing newcomers along. To my knowledge,
no contra prior to “Purple Hays” used this sequence of A parts.
