I bow to the collective wisdom of this group about the dangers of a 1.25 circle in 8 counts. I modified the dance as follows and called it Monday night, with acoustic music and no sound support, while the sound tech was fighting off gremlins. There were no new dancers at that time, a single line of 4 groups of hands-four. I called it with the Balance and Swing. It seemed to go over well. I was expecting new dancers, and thought this dance would keep everyone connected to their foursome for the maximum amount of time.

Leaving out the long lines, and moving things around a bit, your dance is very similar to the following, by Orace Johnson.
