Lindy hop: lindy circle
A paragraph below is from a great wiki-book about lindy hop:
Circles are traditional Lindy Hop dance moves where partners circle around each other. Sometimes, the lead stays in the middle and the follow moves around him. Sometimes, the follow stays in the middle and lead moves around her. Sometimes, both lead and follow move around a common center, around each other. The conventional direction for circles in Lindy Hop is clockwise, which is the opposite of ballroom, though dancers move in both directions.

The video is from an excellenct collection of social dance videos from a YouTube user itsaboutmomentum for a school in Van Buren, Arkansas, Momentum Dance Concepts. They also have an excellent regular video blog, where they demonstrate various moves in many social dances, not only lindy hop, but also salsa, rumba, contry two step etc.
