I love this dance, but learned it (and teach it) with the hey
immediately after the lines of 6 up the hall. At that point they're
still conveniently in the line for the hey and simply have to face their
partners. At the end of the hey, just turn your partner enough to end
with the men facing down the hall and the ladies facing up.
Actually it has just occurred to me to ask, do you do the hand turns and
the dosido all still in the lines of 6?
