I would not call joyride to people who've never done a mad robin if I wasn't going to be able to do a demo. The dance has pousettes, which are probably new to the same people, and a tricky transition into the hey. Without a demo I'm afraid it would need too much teaching time. The tricky sequence is: Gypsy N Mad Robin figure around N Half Pousette clockwise (Men walking backwards) Hey (men pass left) [1] Jeff [1] http://www.kluberg.com/eriksdances.html#Joyride
