If you squash you square up so the sides are close together you get a 6 couple longways and Peel the Banana is a common term for describing the move where, in a longways set, the top couple, followed by the others, casts and the top couple makes the arch at the bottom and the others come up under the arch. Given that your dance is in rectangular formation and the bottom couple stays still and makes the arch, it might be better to find a different term. However, you could still use the visual imagery of "peeling the banana".
