Teaching Hints:
(1) Once dancers have lined up, have them note the couple on the right diagonal as
their next neighbors, and the couple on the next further right diagonal as
their third neighbors.
(2) When teaching the 1/2 heys, tell dancers that each half hey consists of
ladles passing [right/left] shoulders, partner passing [left/right],
then gentlespoons passing [right/left].
(3) At ends, dancers face in as they normally would for an improper dance
This a more straightforward variant of "Where's Alex?".
Here the ladles, rather than the gentlespoons, start the half heys
