Certainly useful techinique, if heys you will be using for the evening
are right in the center, left shoulder at the ends. Flirtation Reel is
a good example of Left shoulder in the center, right shoulder at the
ends. Most dancers don't have trouble with this difference, but I
have occasionally had dancers be a bit surprised that heys can and do
vary.
