Outside 6 Circulate as Very Center 2 Trade.
Ends in the same formation as the starting formation,
unless two dancers meet on the same spot.
Notes:
-
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.

Acey Deucey means "Ends Circulate as Centers Trade". 6 By 2 Acey Deucey
means that 6 (outside) dancers Circulate as 2 (center) dancers Trade.
The first number (6) indicates the number of dancers in the Circulate path;
the second number (2) indicates the number of dancers doing a Trade.
Hence, a normal Acey Deucey is a 4 By 4 Acey Deucey.
