I always describe a gypsy as being just like a dos à dos, but face to

This might be problematic for ECD dancers as Fried de Metz Herman "invented"
this figure. It is basically it is a reverse back to back ( dos-si-do), i.e. fall back
past partner (neighbour) right shoulder, step right and walk forward to place.
As mentioned, in square dancing you have a walk around corner/partner. This is to all
intents and purposes is a gypsy.
