By the way, contra choreographer Al Olson coined the term "line heys for
threes" to describe actions such as [starting with 1's already below 2's]

      Gypsy R with Neighbor
      Gypsy L with next neighbor

I've also seen actions similarly analogous to heys for four--e.g., from
duple improper starting formation, pass N by R sh to meet future N and gypsy
L, then pass orig N by R sh again to meet N from previous round and gypsy L.

        I love these moves and have heard them called Gypsy Heys.  That's
another one for your list, Sam.

        And while we are on heys, do you have these on your list:
Tapsalteerie Hey (Ladies half hey, men ricochet, ladies ricochet, ladies
half hey)  (Tapsalteerie is Scottish for topsy-turvy, apparently)
Cupid's Hey (see Jim Hemphill's dance of the same name)
Celtic Hey (see Kathy Anderson's "The Tropical Gentleman")
Wizard's Walk

Happy dancing,
John
