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.
