=== Half Hey ===

Each side of the set dances half of a figure eight.

  * Dancers #1 and #2 (who start at the top) cast out from the center, pass through the middle position and end up at the bottom.  #1 and #2 have priority over #5 and #6 as they pass through the middle spot.
  * Dancers #5 and #6 (who start at the bottom) do the same, ending up at the top.  #5 and #6 have to yield to #1 and #2 as they pass through the middle spot.
  * Dancers #3 and #4 (who start in the middle) do the top half of the figure eight, going up the center, casting out, and hopping back to their original positions.

Stepping is two [[dances:fieldtown:figures:side-step|side steps]], two [[dances:fieldtown:figures:foot-together-jump|hop backs]], and [[dances:fieldtown:figures:foot-together-jump|foot-together-jump]].

If there is a second half hey, the dancers who were originally in positions #1 and #2 still have priority, even if they start the hey from the bottom.
