Tune: A QUICK ROMP IN THE HEY

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. *

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.
