Tune: A QUICK ROMP IN THE HEY
<code>
Al 1-2 Everyone give right hand to partner, then left.
   3-4 Continuing to hold crossed hands, turn halfway.
   5-8 Holding just right hands, turn once and a half 
       back to place.

A2     TIGHT SHETLAND HEY, WOMEN IN THE LEAD: 
       Moving as couples--women in the lead,
       followed by partners—-do one grand hey for three,
       back to places (bottom couple waits just a moment
       before beginning.)
       
Bl 1-4 DIAGONAL CROSSES FROM THE TOP: 
       M1 and M2 change places; then M1 (who is in the
       middle) and M3 changed places (pass right shoulder
       both times).
   5-8 Everyone cast over right shoulder and move one
       place to left around the set; then face partner
       (who is across from you) and pass through. *
B2 1-4 DIAGONAL CROSSES FROM THE BOTTOM:
       W3 and W1 change places; then W3 (who is in the
       middle) and W2 changed places (pass right
       shoulder both times).
   5-8 Again, everyone cast over right shoulder and move
       one place to left around the set; then face partner
       (who is again across from you) and pass through. * </code>

Teaching point:\\ In A2, there is no “forgiving” and absolutely no
time for any extra looping guy and in as you weave through. The
women bear most op the responsibility for making this work. \\
* Crossing People can skip the casting and just move to the left.
