I picked up a Square Dance break from somewhere that was called the Dixie Chain Break:
Dixie Chain Break: Heads Hey for Four with hands Ladies lead with Right Hand Sides the same Heads and Sides do simultaneous Heys when four are in the middle they do a Hands Across Star (Ladies Star, Pull the Men in, Men Star, Pull the Ladies in) My notes also say that the simultaneous crossed Heys are called a Grand Hey. The original Dixie Chain was attributed to Bill Owen in 1952 and was just: Ladies Pull By Right, Pull the Men in by the Left, Men Pull by Right Quite why the Square Dance community felt the need to give "Three Changes of a Hey" a special name, when it has been around since at least 1588, I don't know - but then they did get up to over 5000 calls back in the 1950s... Warleggan by Joyce Walker is a good four couple dance with a Grand Hey.
