Jerome, AHA! I spent a lot of time after the dance was over for the night visualizing different dances and trying to get all the steps in order so I could write them down- and by that time all the dances had started to run together in my head, so I only got one dance out complete and it wasn't this one. But I have definite snapshots who I danced with, of turning away to swing below, long lines and then waiting through the 1's swing. Maybe this is the source of my confusion. Now that you've mentioned it, I remember that the name of the move was given as a flirt and twirl. And I'm positive that as a 2 I rotated away from my partner (which would be over my right shoulder) to balance and swing the NEW NEIGHBOR below.
So David, The "true" variation is with a cloverleaf turn single. Are you swinging the same neighbor in that case? Either way the progression is the same.

The descriptions by other callers addressed the steps, but I believe this name addresses the attitude. Not that I'm a flirt. -- Jerome Grisanti
