I think I heard Peter Amidon say once something like this: “this dance doesn’t really have a name, it’s kind of the ubiquitous circle waltz mixer.” So I call it Ubi Waltz. However, i have had a few people emphatically tell me it’s called the Oslo Waltz. It’s possible that some people believe that the Oslo Waltz has a couples’ waltz for the entire B2.
Author? no clue. Also, I tend to call this dance a lot with private party gigs and One-Shot-Deal gigs and even with kids, and I label the two roles: Posts and Spinners.
