In MWSD, walk around (your corner) is effectively a “without hands” Right Hand Turn – it specifically does not have the “look at the other person” aspect.
This is not in itself a reason for not using the phrase, but avoiding confusion with closely allied dance forms that share dancers is probably a good idea.

I like the feel of it. An alternative would be "walkabout". Walkabout would be a poor substitute: http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-01-07/lets-go-walkabout-changes-name-a-cultural-appropriation-claims/7071662 I suggest that anyone thinking of a substitute term do at least a quick search for "<word> appropriation" (which is what I did to find the above link) and "<word> slur". -- Hugs and backrubs -- I break Rule 6 http://rule6.info/ <*> <*> <*> Help a hearing-impaired person: http://rule6.info/hearing.html _______________________________________________ Callers mailing list Callers@lists.sharedweight.net http://lists.sharedweight.net/listinfo.cgi/callers-sharedweight.net _______________________________________________ Callers mailing list Callers@lists.sharedweight.net http://lists.sharedweight.net/listinfo.cgi/callers-sharedweight.net _______________________________________________ Callers mailing list Callers@lists.sharedweight.net http://lists.sharedweight.net/listinfo.cgi/callers-sharedweight.net
