IMVHO, the disorienting moves for new folks are those that are disconnected. Four in line is extremely connected and therefore not particularly disorienting. Bigger issues are piece count, (see Zesty Contras by Larry Jennings for a definition if required) transitions between moves, and the quality of the calling and the music. I would be much more concerned about what came before and after the down the hall than about that move itself.
