[Callers] Moving Arches longways

Hi, Recently I ran across the barndance in the Disney cartoon "The Martins & the Coys" segment of the "Make Mine Music" series (about 4:50 into the cartoon -- [1]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XtyUycHvYls). I liked the "moving arches" figure so I tried it out on my Int'l dancers and they really enjoyed it. They much preferred it over Dip & Dive (so did I). In consideration of my more moderate humans, we didn't do the dance exactly as shown in the cartoon (see below). But I'm wondering: (1) Is the dance in the cartoon a particular dance? (2) Is there another name for the moving arches figure? (3) Do you have other dances that use that figure? There are a lot of options as danced in the cartoon, of course, but since I had four couples and wanted to keep it to regular AB length, this is what turned out to work well. It was fun and fairly simple dance but it did require keeping the set tight and moving as there was no "recovery" time. I think it would be fun with three couples and another swift round.
