Arm R, set and turn, Arm L, set and turn.

Crossover Hey:
Tops cross by L and do Grand R and L (no hands) around the set to home. Meanwhile, Odds hey in line (with Top Even crossing halfway through) WHILE Evens hey in line (with Top Odd crossing halfway through.) From the perspective of the Odd and Even lines, it’s a regular 3-person hey, just with one of the people turning into someone else halfway through.
