I like that....it does define the move much better than Mad Robin!   I've 
also seen the term "sliding doors" used to describe that figure.


Sashay:  move sideways, and Around (do I have to explain that one?)

Well, you would think one wouldn't need to explain "around," but I've called 
dances where the direction "walk straight ahead in the direction you are 
facing" will cause certain people (the dyslexics?) to turn around and walk 
the other way.
