Roll Promenade

I find it difficult to get information about the exact definition of "Roll Promenade". Do you think that the following Corner Progression, which I would like to use with a beginners class in a Singing Call, is ok:

Heads Square Thru
Dosado
Swing Thru
Boys Run 
Bend the Line
Right and Left Thru
Two Ladies Chain
Roll Promenade  ?

I would be very grateful for an answer.

It's a FINE singing call figure.

In my opinion, you don't need the word 'Roll'. A simple 'Promenade' will do. Of course, timing-wise, 'Promenade' needs to be called immediately after 'Ladies Chain', before dancers complete the 'Ladies Chain' so that they can blend into a smooth Promenade.
