‘allemande’ is a general square dance term for a turn
Allemande when you're not in a basic square:
Imagine your current formation as if it were a circle.
To face corner:
Men/women each face the same way as they would from a basic square
(women face promenade direction, men face wrong way promenade).
Whoever you see from that facing is your current corner. Allemande with them!
