swing out
Arc away from
Swing out means to move outward in an arc, like a door or gate pivoting on its hinge: The barn door swung out into the yard.
In dance, particularly Lindy Hop and other swing styles, a swing out is a foundational move where partners separate and reconnect in a circular pattern.
The phrase can also describe vehicles pulling wide to make a turn: The truck swung out to clear the corner.
