Jeff's suggestion of "facing star" works perfectly, and merits becoming the
standard term used for discussions about and written descriptions of
dances. However, such occasionally used figures must always be explained
during walk-throughs, so the caller can designate, for the duration of the
dance, any appropriate name. (I think I have used "funny" or
"silly"
star in the past.) The point being that dancers should need to understand
the names of a dozen or so basic figures (such as F&B, allemande,
promenade, star, chain, right and left, circle, shoulders round, hey, and
maybe several more) and that callers should need only basic figures
to teach any dance.

"Gypsy Star" is now called.
Thank you.
