This is also in the English Folk Dance & Song Society "Community Dances 
Manuals", also as "Circle Waltz".  I think that's in an early-1960s volume.

It's in the NEDM Sashay the Donut book, pg 26 as "Circle Waltz Mixer".

Hello,

I've got a circle mixer that I collected 15-20 years ago. The caller may have 
been Becky Hill, maybe not. It's for a 32-bar waltz. I'm searching for the 
title and author.

Starts with a ring of couples all facing the center:
A1 Balance forward & back, roll away (ladies/robins moving in front from Left 
to Right), Repeat
A2 Repeat twice more
B1 As couples, face center connected by usual hands (gents/larks right, 
ladies/robins left). Balance while turning away back (together), then (letting 
go) turn symmetrically away to face out and take other hands.
Balance away and together, turn symmetrically away to face each other
B2 Take the ballroom position, take two waltz steps (step, close, step, close) 
into circle, then two steps out, then free waltz four waltz steps, ending by 
unfolding to reform a circle.

Thanks for whatever help you can provide!
