The Happy Dance, or A Chase for Martha (positional)

For Martha Kloper and Chase Eozzo, a happy dance for the happy couple.

Choreography:	© Sharon Green, 2014
Tune:	The Happy Dance, by Jonathan Jensen © 2014
Formation:	Duple minor longways

A1	1-8	Dolphin Hey: Ones dance down between the Twos and go to their left to begin

A2	1-2	Partners, set
	3-6	Partners swirl siding
	7-8	All turn single

B1	1-2	Ones, cross straight across (right-shoulder), face down
	3-4	Neighbors in line, Hole-in-the-Wall cross
	5-8	Ones, ½ figure 8 up

B2	1-2	The same foursome, take hands-four and go four slips to the left
	3-4	Still in the ring, set right and left
	5-6	Go four slips back to the right
	7-8	Releasing hands, Ones set forward to face down, while Twos set backwards, ready to hey with the next couple. [Last time, all simply set to their partners]

Note: In place of the Dolphin Hey, the first couple can take hands in a skater’s hold and, acting as
a unit, dance a straight hey for three across the set with the second couple. At the end of
this variant, the dancer on the right hands their partner across to home position.
