Hi Luke,
It depends on the skill levels in the hall. If I have a lot of first
timers or perpetual beginners I use a very simple dance like
http://contrafusion.co.uk/Dances/ChainnHey.html
For teaching I would much rather do the chain there and back to give
more practice; the Yearn means that the dancers are set up ready to start the
chain (no guarantee they will be in the right place after a beginner swing!);
and the ladies flow out of the second chain to start the hey.
By the way, I see you put the apostrophe in “gent’s chain”, so surely
it should be “ladies’ chain” ☺
Happy dancing,
John
