I think I heard Peter Amidon say once something like this: “this dance doesn’t really
have a name, it’s kind of the ubiquitous circle waltz mixer.” So I call it Ubi Waltz.
However, i have had a few people emphatically tell me it’s called the Oslo Waltz. It’s
possible that some people believe that the Oslo Waltz has a couples’ waltz for the entire
B2.
Author? no clue.
Also, I tend to call this dance a lot with private party gigs and One-Shot-Deal gigs and
even with kids, and I label the two roles: Posts and Spinners.

It's in the NEDM Sashay the Donut book, pg 26 as "Circle Waltz Mixer".

Hello,
I've got a circle mixer that I collected 15-20 years ago. The caller may have been
Becky Hill, maybe not. It's for a 32-bar waltz. I'm searching for the title and
author.
Starts with a ring of couples all facing the center:
A1 Balance forward & back, roll away (ladies/robins moving in front from Left to
Right), Repeat
A2 Repeat twice more
B1 As couples, face center connected by usual hands (gents/larks right, ladies/robins
left). Balance while turning away back (together), then (letting go) turn symmetrically
away to face out and take other hands.
Balance away and together, turn symmetrically away to face each other
B2 Take the ballroom position, take two waltz steps (step, close, step, close) into
circle, then two steps out, then free waltz four waltz steps, ending by unfolding to
reform a circle.
Thanks for whatever help you can provide!
