Hankies.
Like normal but there is a stretched beat for the standing still bits at the end of every 4th bar.
Footwork as normal except for a stretched out last beat where one stands with feet together and arms out sideways like a scarecrow [theta = 90 deg, phi = ± 90 deg] facing partner. This is done by doing a normal hanky Basic but flick the hankies out horizontally sideways whilst landing from the Jump and staying in that pose for a while.
Hankies have a slight timing variation in the Half Hey [hankies inwards in the 2nd step-back instead of waiting for the Foot Together] to avoid crashing whilst going backwards.
Hey on the Sides.
Turn 270 deg on the 1st step of the 2nd Basic instead of in the jump [to fit more with the unbouncy look of the dance].
All Up without the 3 Capers. End with hankies out to sides and feet together on the ground.
Learnt as part of Lagabag Morris’s dance repertoire.
