As with many of the variations, this move is effectively an amalgam of two simpler moves. The first half of
the move is equivalent to a Swing Out, with the exception that the leader stays much closer to the follower
than for that move. The second half is the same as the second half of a Lindy Circle. The net result is an
eight-beat move that starts and ends in closed position, and which does not travel far across the floor.
