Rotary Spin The Windmill [obsolete]:

From an Eight Chain Thru (or Parallel R-H Waves). Right Pull By; Outsides Courtesy Turn & Roll as Centers Step To A L-H Wave; all Spin The Windmill Forward (Ends Circulate 2 As You Are). Ends in Parallel R-H Waves. In our opinion, usage of this call should be avoided since dancers could alternatively parse this call as a Rotary Spin followed by The Windmill [C1]. EN: 644

Aus einer Eight Chain Thru (oder parallelen R-H Waves). Right Pull By; die Outsides tanzen Courtesy Turn & Roll, während die Centers Step To A L-H Wave tanzen; alle tanzen Spin The Windmill Forward (Ends Circulate 2 As You Are, d. h. die Ends gehen 2 Circulate Positionen weiter, und zwar in die Richtung, in welche sie gerade schauen). Endet in parallelen R-H Waves. Nach unserer Meinung sollte die Verwendung dieses Calls vermieden werden, da die Tänzer diesen Call auch als Rotary Spin, gefolgt von einem The Windmill [C1] verstehen könnten. DE: 644
