I don't recall a term for just a round of ladies picking their partners at an otherwise "normal" dance, though. Best I can remember (never much of a dancer) it was simply "ladies' choice". | |

No, I don’t think that’s used anywhere in the Anglosphere (at least I’ve never heard of it, and I doubt English speakers would understand it in general). There is a term for this ‘ladies’ round’ in English as well, but for some reason it’s decided to remain firmly on the tip of my tongue and refuses to emerge any further. | |
