A gypsy, as I was taught it, is a turn around your partner without giving
hands, which is why you can do either right or left shoulder. It is a
flirtation figure with lots of eye contact and a certain amount of
calculation in how much space one makes between one and one's partner. Also,
do you decide to act as the pivot point and make your partner walk around you
or do you trace equal paths. A lot of variation for 4 bars.
