== Zipper Hey & Off ==

**Beats 1-2**: all dancers move into a single line with #1 facing down and all other dancers facing up.

**Beats 3-16**: Dancer #1 continues dancing more or less straight down the set.  Dancer #2 continues, passing right shoulders with #1.  All other dancers remain still until #1 approaches.  As #1 approaches each dancer, the dancer starts dancing and veers off in the opposite direction from the previous dancer (passing #1 by the opposite shoulder from the previous dancer).  Dancers continue through a linear hey until the set is inverted.  I.e., dancer #1 stops at the bottom and turns to face up.  Dancer #2 stops when facing #1.  Each other dancers stops when they reach the back of a dancer facing away from them.  The last dancer should stop on beat #16 (bar #8).

**Beats 17-32 (bars 9-16)**: Repeat the above process except that #1 continues dancing off and the rest of the set follow.
