CIRCLE TO A HEY IN MAY Trevor Monson First prize winner of May Hey Days 2024 Formation: Circle of couples facing in. Tune: Lively duple meter 32-bars, eg "Rochdale Cocoanut Dance", "Evit Gabriel", etc.) https://www-ssrl.slac.stanford.edu/~winston/mydances/apw/evit_gabriel.jpg Trevor says "men on left, women on right"; I'll say lefties and righties A1: All Circle to the left and back (walking) A2: Face partner around the ring, balance f&b while holding both hands; Petronella turn (single) 3/4 to face partner along spokes of a wheel, lefties facing in, righties facing out. [*] Forward and back to partner, touching hands - use all 4 steps forward and all 4 back. [Good time to notice the people on right and left in your partner's ring.) B1: Figure of 8 (interlocking hey) Along the circle, partners pass R, go wide, pass next person R looping to the right to find partner; partners pass left, pass left shoulder with next and loop left around them to finish with partners facing again as before, righties looking out, lefties looking in B2: Partners left hand turn once round. With next person on right diagonal (you looped right around them), 2-hand turn once [or swing] and reform the circle. [*] Alan thinks it might be useful to point out two rings, an inner and an outer. Then when you're identifying the relevant neighbors they're all in the other ring, and when you finish you're returning to your place on the inner ring.
