That is absolutely correct. It is possible to have a dance, such as

however.

I believe that in this dance, when the roll-aways occur, there is no
half-sashay and that this is how the progression occurs. I vaguely
remember a heated discussion of this topic between Larry, Lynn A. and
Kiran. Lynn, do you remember and what was the right answer?

half sashay refers to the non-rolling individual stepping sideways

the
original place of the rolling individual. Can anyone confirm this?
