hello - first time posting to this list so i'm sorry if I do it wrong
(looked in archives and couldn't see obvious answer)

 I am going to teach and call my first dance with a hey this Saturday.. (ie
tomorrow)

our group takes things slow so i'd like to cue every interaction for the
first few times, as our previous caller did.... I don't know how common
this is but our previous caller would actually say--

 ravens pass right
neighbours pass left
larks pass right
partners left
ravens pass right
neighbours pass left
larks pass right
 partner balance and swing

I'm wondering if someone can clarify for me about delivering the calls for
this hey....normally of course I deliver instructions so the last bit of
instruction ends on the beat prior to the figure starting.

But in the case of the Hey, if I remember correctly the caller actually
called out  the actions *as* they were happening....

Am I remembering correctly and if so is this the best approach?

In essence-- do I start by calling "ravens pass right" *just before* they
do it, or *while* they are doing it?

thanks muchly :)
