Here are 2 I wrote.The first one appears in California Twirls. The second one
isn't a full hey, but two halves of a full hey, if that's OK.
The Bee's Knees
Duple improper
July 17, 1992
A1 Balance in a wave across, women allemande left half way
Balance in a wave, box the gnat with partner (men end back to back in
middle)
A2 Hey (pull past partner by right to start)
B1 Gypsy and swing partner
A1 Wave balance (4), half a hey (8), wave balance (4)
B2 Circle left ¾ and pass through
Do-si-do the new neighbor once and a little bit more
Alternate B2:
Women chain across
Do-si-do the new neighbor once and a little bit more
I like the box the gnat into the hey, and the do-si-do into a wave. I initially
wrote it with the ladies chain, but I like the circle left ¾ version better.
Split Infinity
Duple Improper
July 2011
A1 Wave balance (4), half a hey (8), wave balance (4)
A2 Half a hey
Swing neighbor
B1 Circle left three quarters
Swing partner
B2 Circle left three quarters, pass through
Do-si-do the next
Starts with the women in the center taking left hands for the first wave
balance. Women then pass left shoulder to start the hey. Everyone will switch
positions in the wave with their same sex neighbor when they form the wave
again. This requires a bouncy tune, single jigs useful, or something like Rock
the Cradle Joe, to get the balances in both parts of the A1.
