First, I believe that has been refered to as a hip circle.

Secondly....One of the great things about freestyle is that it finally
provides a departure from the myopic attitudes and quantification
frenzy that sequential convinced everyone they needed to march too.
With that in mind, I see the naming of freestyle maneuvers as the 
first goosestep toward regementation.  Try not to think in terms of
doing a hip circle, to a leg down, to a daffy....that's what 
sequential is all about.  Don't limit yourself to named, defined
maneuvers...go out and dance.  Freestyle is not quantification,
it's art....go be an artist.
