AS I recall the 'figure of eight' begins man's left to ladies right; man man spins A/C letting go and picking up same ladies right hand with his right hand; man turns lady A/C. Where the man changes places the move is called the 'flying figure of eight'. The reason for the name is the man' s 'circle' is follwed by the ladies 'circle' and from bird's eye view looks like 8.Normally in practice it all ends up as a 'flying' one cos ladies are aalways moving and are going to end up the other side as one is turning anyway....
