I thought it looked great! I liked the Hey in a circle, my team does it in columns.

Thanks! 🙂
How it evolved:
Step 1: Do the corner movements simultaneously so that the dance is shorter - much better for the public.
Step 2: The chorus will therefore look better if we are in a circle - make the whole dance circular once Third Corners have finished their first crossing.
Step 3: Change to a Circular Hey since we are in a circle.

Not as Kenworthy collected it. But reasonably authentic.

Thanks. I try to teach the side the styling that I learnt from Bert Cleaver. We re-choreographed the dance to try to make it more interesting for the audience.
