Michael Fuerst said, "To me one of the more challenging to describe succinctly is ricochet heys".
One of the challenges of a Ricochet Hey is the name - it is not actually a Hey in any sense of the word, though Ricochets mixed with Half Heys do make pleasing figures. I have had a few challenges with this as well, but in trying to think of a way to do it better, I just had a major breakthrough... I think! I just realised that a Ricochet Hey is actually a Mad Robin in which the people passing through the middle interact with each other. So, next time I teach it I am going to try getting the dancers to do a Mad Robin first then get them to change their path from a rectangle to a pizza slice and touch hands in the middle. Does that make sense? Happy dancing, John John Sweeney, Dancer, England [email protected] 01233 625 362 http://www.contrafusion.co.uk for Dancing in Kent
