The Outside 6 Circulate within their distorted 6-dancer formation. To Circulate, move forward to the next position within the Outside 6, turning if necessary (not at all, 1/4, or 1/2) to take the original facing direction of the dancer that occupied the spot to which you are moving. If you are facing a dancer on the Circulate path, pass right shoulders and take that dancer's original opposite facing direction. EN: 30
