Does this figure actually need a name?  It's rare enough that I would just
describe what the dancers do, and prompt it with a shortened version of
those words ("make an arch, come back up" or something)

  Hi all,
               I understand that some people object to the use of the word
 Dixie (I don’t necessarily agree, but please let’s not get into that now).
               I am currently using “Grand Twirl” as an alternative name
 for a Dixie Twirl, since “Grand” generally implies “everyone” and the move
 applies to all four dancers in the line.
               Has anyone come up with a better term?
               Thanks.
             Happy dancing,
                    John
