hook: Double Dolphin Hey
by: John Sweeney
formation: line of 5 people
Stand in a line of 5, across the hall, everyone facing up. Number the positions from 1 (stage left) to 5 (stage right).
By the end of the progression, No.1 travels to the opposite end, and everyone else decreases their number by one.
| A1 | 8 | no.1 & no.2 allemande left 1½
|
| 8 | no.1 & no.3 allemande right 1½
| |
| A2 | 16 | double dolphin hey - start with no.1 passing 4&5 by left (2&3) 1 (4&5)
|
| B1 | 8 | no.1 & no.4 allemande left 1½
|
| 8 | no.1 & no.5 allemande right 1½
| |
| B2 | 16 | Thread the Needle, and straighten the line ⁋
|
++ Dolphin Heys,: with #1 (now in the middle) the only one acting solo.
+++ Thread the Needle: All face UP& take hands. 2&3 arch, no.1 dives. Both ends go all the way around and back to place. After going through the arch twice, #1 must head for the windows to pull the line straight; #2 (the new #1) should be heading for the other wall.
Variation: I swapped the left/right allemandes so that no.1 is facing UP for a facing up Thread the Needle in B2.
