I have mostly heard this move called "fish hook", but tend not to call
it that when I choose dances with this move. One of my favorites is
the following.

The last chapter is a glossary of uncommon moves used in contras. I
remember, maybe 15 years ago, someone wrote a dance that used a
move called
a hockey stick. Does anyone know the dance/know the move? My
memory is
that dancers walk across the set single file and then turn a
quarter and
move either up or down.
