Re: [Callers] Hichkman's Hey

[Robert Golder]

Some years ago I called an evening of dances, and Steve Hickman was a musician 
in the band. I asked Steve about the origin of Hickman's Hey. He confirmed that 
he could not remember where or by whom he had first heard it called, but that 
he so enjoyed the dance and subsequently made so much use of it that it became 
associated with him. I called the dance that evening as Linda has given it, and 
Steve made no comment one way or the other about authenticity. He was a lot of 
fun to work with on stage. … Bob

My version from Steve Hickman has Actives allemande Right 1x in B1, and
Actives balance & swing in B2 rather than long lines followed by a swing.

Folk Process?

There is half a hey when you get the bottom of the hall, then you finish the
hey when you get back home.

Hickman's Hey

A1  Down the Hall, four in line (Ones in middle)
¦ Hey (Start facing in, ones pass right, End where partner was)
A2  Up the Hall
Finish the Hey
B1  One's Allemande Left 1 1/2
Neighbor Swing
B2  One's Balance & Swing


From what I can find out, Steve Hickman was the name of the person who

collected the dance and he did not know the actual name, nor the author.
Also, it seems that the B1 and B2 parts vary (the A1 and A2, being what
makes the dance distinctive, do not), but this is how I learned it and how I
call it.

I have a slightly different version to share; but have heard the same

There is half a hey when you get the bottom of the hall, then you  
finish the

hey when you get back home.

Hickman's Hey

A1  Down the Hall, four in line (Ones in middle)
½ Hey (Start facing in, ones pass right, End where partner was)
A2  Up the Hall
Finish the Hey
B1  One’s Allemande Left 1 1/2
Neighbor Swing
B2  One’s Balance & Swing

From what I can find out, Steve Hickman was the name of the person  
who
collected the dance and he did not know the actual name, nor the  
author.
Also, it seems that the B1 and B2 parts vary (the A1 and A2, being  
what
makes the dance distinctive, do not), but this is how I learned it  
and how I

call it.

Subject: [Callers] dances with down-the-halls

Hi Everyone - Many of our easier dances include down-the-halls, but  
there
are so many ways to come back up!  There's turn alone, and turn as a  
couple
of course, but there's also sliding doors, right-hand-high-left-hand- 
low,
loop-de-loop, cloverleaf.  What are your favorite dances that  
include an

unusual down-the-hall? I've thought of putting together a program that
highlights all the different ways to go down the hall.  I think  
there is a
wide enough variety in these dances that it could be doable without  
boring

the dancers.
