Hey
A Hey is almost any kind of weaving figure. There are more figures called "Heys" than anything else in Irish dance, and many of the Heys we do (or could) are cribbed from English country dancing. This page is a jumping point for learning about many of them. Please note that, in the world of Irish dancing, the lines between Chains, Rights and Lefts, and Heys often end up hopelessly blurred.
