Re: [Callers] Another dolphin surfaces
April, When you danced it, did any lady 2 begin the hey with a (quick!) turn single R (to keep the flow going)? Ken ___ List Name: Callers mailing list List Address: Callers@lists.sharedweight.net Archives: https://www.mail-archive.com/callers@lists.sharedweight.net/

Re: [Callers] Another dolphin surfaces
Second sentence third paragraph should be pass Lady TWO by the right.

It's a hey for THREE rather than for four, with one couple acting as a unit. The initiating couple in this case are the ones. With Gent 1 in the lead, BOTH 1s pass Lady 1 by the right (she crosses the set to pass her partner by the left). Gent 1 and Lady 1 pivot 180° which puts Lady 1 in the lead. She leads her partner across the set, passing Gent 2 by the left. The 1s again pivot and come back into the center of the set passing Lady 1 by the right and Gent 2 by the left. An excellent video can be found on the lambertvillecountrydancers.org website. Click on ECD and then search for Sapphire Sea, from which I shamelessly stole the set up. Pick the one with the asterisk. Watch the Gent in the vest and note that he is always closer to the curtains than his partner (in black) who is always closer to the center of the room. In my dance the genders are reversed, but the rule is the same. The dolphins change who is in the lead WITHOUT changing places. They turn in tandem. The best way to learn is to dance it, of course. But I hope this helps.

Sometimes better to show than explain - there's one in an ECD by Christine Robb here: https://youtu.be/g-8LyExynvA After seeing Christine's dance I played with writing contras with one but hadn't considered this entry into the hey... nice. You've inspired me to dig my drafts out and try to finish one. -Don On Thu, Apr 5, 2018 at 12:24 AM, Cheryl Joyal via Callers < callers@lists.sharedweight.net> wrote: > This has me intrigued…. > > But I don’t know what a “dolphin hey” is or how to teach ….. additional > help appreciated.Thanks - Cheryl > Cheryl Joyal > clmjo...@gmail.com > clmjo...@aol.com > 630-667-3284 (cell) > > > > > On Apr 4, 2018, at 11:21 PM, April via Callers < > callers@lists.sharedweight.net> wrote: > > We danced this one last weekend, and it works quite well, even if the > "dolphin" couple doesn't quite get the "switch leads without switching > places" bit.
