This figure involves a facing couple, they join left hands and raise them, then they trade places. The woman turning right 180° as she passes under the raised hands, the man turning left 180° as he walks around her. The left hands remain joined afterward.

History

I can find no antecedents of this call, and it is not one of CALLERLAB's standardized calls. However I learned it in the 1980s.
