Swivel Step Around

This move involves a simple swivelling step, and because the move stays mostly in place it can be very useful on a crowded dance floor. The follower is alternating swivelling steps to the left and right, but the turns to the left are slightly larger than the turns to the right so that couple as a whole rotate anticlockwise during the move.
