do-si-do

Circling partner movement

Do-si-do is a square dance move where two dancers advance toward each other, pass right shoulders, move around each other back-to-back, and return to their starting positions—all without touching.

The term comes from French dos-à-dos, meaning back to back.

As a verb: Do-si-do your partner.
