I wrote this dance in 1999 before ricochet heys were a thing for a graduation party for Margriet Dogterom. I can’t lay claim to inventing the move, as I’m sure other dances had it before this one, but I certainly never saw the move before I created it. I might be able to claim credit for popularizing it, as this dance made the rounds and shortly after, I started to see a lot of dances with ricochet heys. Now ricochet's are so popular they're a built-in option on contradb.com.

This dance is dedicated to Margriet Dogterom who got her Ph.D. in Bee Ecology in the Summer of 1999.
