Halloween Twist by Melanie Axel-Lute meets Chris Page's iconic Heart of Joy eye contact pull across the set into a swing.
If your dancers aren't familiar with Heart of Joy, you can practice this with hands -- it's really just a circle left 2 places then swing your neighbor on the other side of the set, but coming from the right gyre it's much better without hands!

Based on Paul Balliet's First Hey, shifted and with one phrase changed. Offers an opening that works much better with a barn-burner of a tune, with a runaway B section. Manages the energy throughout the sequence better than Paul's original dance, in my opinion. At the very least it offers a distinctly more driving and chunky feel compared to the original.
