The original centers end on the same spot,
so they step to right hands, and the overall
ending formation is offset

Notes:

Flip In means to slide inward one position while turning 180° toward that direction.
Flip is similar to a Run, except that Flip is done along the same plane, whereas Run has the dancer moving along an arc.
Points take the inside path (since they are flipping toward the center),
and Centers take the outside path (since they are moving in an arc).
