I have seen this taught as a do si do.on the side with your neighbor...then turn shoulder to shoulder (facing partner across the set) and then do the same move but sideways...worked for the group I was dancing in. I have a mad robin in a dance I wrote and will teach it this way until I find, see or dance to a better one.
