The feel/facing may be different, but these usages appear to pretty much
align with classic circle to zig/zag patterns as well?

Alan, I agree that dolphin poussette is an apt description for what's going
on; and concur that it probably wouldn't help all the dancers (and less so
in Contra than in English, I think).
The star bursts as envisioned below definitely have a dolphin hey poussette
feel, with the two couples curving
Just getting to my email now.
I have an ECD with a similar move - star into couples chase out, swap leads,
come back in; in my dance, they go around each other, so it's clearly a
poussette variation.
I tried calling it "dolphin poussette" but that really doesn't speak to people;

Well if you have ecd folks on the floor...
bottoms star right once around and ease out and pause! Gents will continue up
the outside of the set one place as the ladies cast up one place, AND the 1s
lead down all the way to the bottom. Go!

Here's a crack at putting the star burst in a duple improper choreography.
Stellar Star Burst
Contra/Improper
A1 ---
(16) Neighbor gyre and swing
A2 ---
(8) Larks/Gents allemande Left 1-1/2
(8) Partner swing
B1 ---
(8) Long lines, forward and back
(8) Left hand Star 3/4
B2
Thank you all, for your thoughts and discussion, and I do like the name
star burst.
As I'd envisioned it, the path on the floor is very much like a poussette,
but the dancers wouldn't be holding hands. It's almost like the tandem turn
in a dolphin hey; but with motion up and down the hall. I think
I wonder if this might be considered the second half of Tag the Line (Half
Tag is a common term, but it's the first half that square dancers use).
Modern western square dance callers may think differently.

I would probably get everyone into their final positions first before
teaching the move, so's that everyone knows where they'll end up.
After that the language would look something like, "Star Right all the way

center of the

in the lead going back in.

If it isn’t already a defined move it should most definitely be called a “star
burst”!!

Hi All,
I'm playing around with choreographing triplets, and I've got a sequence
that I think would flow well; but I'm not sure how to teach it short of a
demo.
The idea is that couples 2 & 3 do a star. Out of that star, they move out,
up, and back in; leaving space in the middle for couple 1 to
