Double Dolphin Hey
by Jonathan King.
(Aug. 2013)
[IMPROPER:]
[A dolphin-hey is a hey-for-3, with the two ONEs acting as a single person.
To turn-around, each pivots in place; now #1 is in front of
#1. When they pivot again, #1 will be in front of
#1. At all times, the #1 is dolphin-side of the #1.
(After 16 beats, all four folk are back where they started;
the ONEs in the center, facing dolphin-side,
-before-.)]
Dolphin: Cross-1-2 Pass-3-4 Pivot-5-6 Return-7-8
[This dance also works to waltz music.]
Circle left all-the-way(8). Nbr swing(8). Puts the TWOs above, progressing.
4-places(8). [ shake R-hands, shake L-hands, hands on top. back up, fwd.] Now TWOs Bal&Push-off back to place, while ONEs swing in the center(8). [ONEs end in the center, behind , facing across, facing the Dolphin-side].
Dolphin-hey, ONEs (as a unit) split the above-TWOs(16).
Dolphin-hey, ONEs split the below-TWOs(16), ending in a hand-4 with them.
If anyone asks: “Dolphin hey —what is it?”, answer “It's what Nebraska dolphins eat.”

Everyone, dosido partner(8).
Done to contra music, this dance is challenging. Done to waltz music, each 2 contra-steps becomes a single waltz triple-step; e.g, a parenthetical (8) means four waltz triple-steps. In waltz timing, for “Lines-fwd-and-back” I recommend going fwd on the R-diagonal (triple-step 1), fwd on L-diagonal (triple-step 2), then reversing for the remaining two triple-steps. With hands-joined, this is very satisfying.
