Hey Down There
by John Rogers.
[BECKET: Pass through one couple, take
hand4, then Becketize.]
Circle-left 3-places(8), then pass thru to... swing new nbr(8). End facing down.
DTHall Line4, 1,2, 2,1(8).
Face your nbr, half-hey [You'll pass 3 people.](8), end facing up. 1,2, 2,1.
UTHall(8), chain(8).
Everyone pass-across, partner swing, end facing across.
[Written October 31, 2015] John: The end of the hey in A2 has the naturally facing upward but not so for the . And the Twos need to be encouraged to complete that last pass by the left shoulder as they face up. -One will have time to rotate to face up as the Twos do their last pass. I don't make a fuss about this because they seem to get it pretty soon. Maybe knowing that they will be holding the same neighbor's same hand in the inverted line (facing up) is a good reference point.
