Hi All,
Years ago I was making up dances with what I was calling a "Sling Shot Hey."
Then cam the Ricochet Hey. Many of us have noted that a Ricochet Hey starting
with robins or larks passing in the center by the right then ricocheting to
swing doesn't work. The Sling Shot Her does:
Coyote Road on Christmas (2022) Becket Erik Hoffman
Start facing across: Robin on Left, Lark on Right
A1 W/ Nbr: Balance, Box Gnat; Right & Left Thru
A2 Half Sling-Shot Hey: Robins pass Right, Nbr, Left
Larks "sling-shot" (allemande Rt) to Neighbor Swing
B1 Give & Take (Larks fetch) Partner Swing
B2 Petronella w/ Overspin to Face New Neighbors
Petronella w/ New Neighbors to A1 Face Across
This dance got certified approval when local dance caller, choreographer, and
organizer asked me for the dance told me that it worked fine.
Although I think I might have come up with this idea independently, if my
memory serves, it's been discussed earlier on this list and has been explored
with other choreographers and might have been given another name.
That said, it is a way to choreograph a "pass right in the middle" hey to a
right allemande in the middle to "sling shot" into a swing.
Cheers,
~Erik Hoffman
