Way too late to help with the original request I realize, but perhaps generally 
of interest:

A piece of this dance that I particularly like is that everyone in the line 
will pass face to face with everyone else in the line—but it’s worth pointing 
that out explicitly, or people won’t notice that it’s true. (The leader has to 
turn toward, not away, at some point for that to happen.)

(My association with calling it “The Spiral Dance” is with certain varieties of 
paganism, where that looking-at-everyone-else is a central reason for doing it.)
