I'd like to put in a vote for using a half hey instead of a full hey when teaching new dancers. I think the dancers get the sense of the move, and it's so short that they don't have time to get scared. It also means that we as callers don't have to say so many words, which most new dancers can't listen to anyway.

The most important thing is that they need to begin the hey with someone other than their partner. If the hey begins with their partner, then the odds are high that they will never figure it out.
