The Swirl

An online definition may be found here.

Bars: 8.

The Swirl The Swirl is danced by two facing couples (woman on man's right). Men turn their partners right once around into allemande hold facing in. Then promenade half round each other, passing left shoulder, couples dropping right hands and pivoting to face each other again, but on the other side. Then all left hands across once around, and turn to face in the direction needed by the next figure.

History

The first example I can find is in Alex Gray's Edina's Pride, 1984
