[1] This first is a normal half hey. Then as men step back into the center, they ricochet while the women loop around, getting ready for the next figure. (If the men didn't ricochet, this would count as a 3/4 hey with 5 passes.)
Men ricochet: Men, the second time they reach the center, extend both hands to each other and push off each other, going backwards and to their right. At this point all are facing across, next to their neighbor, with man on the right, woman on the left.
[2] To help the transition into this, men should keep their hands out after they ricochet. As women loop around, they can catch the man's left hand in their right hand. The momentum of the hey should flow directly into the roll away.
[3] A mad robin is a sideways do-si-do, men starting in front of their neighbor.
This mad robin is meant to be done quickly, in six steps. The other two steps are used up by men crossing the set.
[4] Men quickly go straight across the set. It's a bonus if women continue the flow of the mad robin by shifting slightly to their left, but that detail's likely not worth teaching.
