My impression had been that "strip the willow" is weaving down the
middle, whereas "peel the banana" is a descriptive name for an outside
move - a head couple casts off and each line follows their respective
head to the bottom. Peel the banana is definitely better understood by
beginners/ONS dancers than cast off! Although I use both when teaching.
If the heads are casting off around a short set or a square, maybe
"cast off and promenade half way" and/or "peel the orange" might be
more evocative! idk

Isn't 'strip the willow' the same as
"reel the set" as in a Virginia
reel.. I never thought the peel the banana was part of that figure,
but maybe it IS!!

I think that "strip the willow" is also used, though perhaps only
in the
dance by that name.

whole
book of "family dances" by that name..
