Column Circulate, also known as Single File Circulate, is usually done from ordinary parallel columns. In such columns, all the dancers in one column are facing in one direction and all the dancers in the other column are facing in the opposite direction.
The first dancer in each column "flips over" into the adjacent spot. From right-handed columns (where all the dancers are holding right hands), the first dancer will be flipping over to the right. The other six dancers simply walk forward one spot, without turning.
In left-handed columns (where all the dancers are holding left hands), the first dancer in each column will be flipping over to the left.
