Hi Jerome,
I have been dancing and calling it for fifty years. We just call it the
Circle Waltz. You can see it in this video:

Subject: [Callers] Searching for Title & Author
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!
