Bob Isaacs sez:

This 2011 gem is one of the best partner reunion dances around. Contras like
this with two swings, no circle Ls, and no allemandes are also easy to fit in a
program.

(1) â The original version of this dance went:

A1. 8 Ladies allemande R 1½

8 ½ hey (N1L, GR, PL, LR)

A2. 4,12 N1 balance, swing

But this A1, with the 4 pass ½ hey, makes it hard to make the A2 balance on
time. When ricochet heys became more popular, it got tweaked into the more
forgiving version above.

(2) â The gent in the ladyâs R hand is her partner, which explains the title.
