If you squash you square up so the sides are close together you get a 6
couple longways and Peel the Banana is a common term for describing the
move where, in a longways set, the top couple, followed by the others,
casts and the top couple makes the arch at the bottom and the others
come up under the arch. Given that your dance is in rectangular
formation and the bottom couple stays still and makes the arch, it might
be better to find a different term. However, you could still use the
visual imagery of "peeling the banana".

Dear Callers,
I'm writing a dance for 6 couples (in a rectangle, one at the top and
bottom, two on each side), and I want to know if one of the moves I wrote
already has a name.
Bottom couple makes an arch. Top couple splits and walks around the outside
of the set, each taking the side couples with them. They then go up through
the arch and back to place.
If this move doesn't have a proper name, I'm just going to call it "peel
the banana" because I feel that's the best way to describe it.
Sincerely,
Ben Hornstein
