I don't envision the corrections required to be as drastic. If Gigue is pulling Sigurd to his own right, that means Sigurd is falling to his left, which happens to be the direction he is facing in, due to the right foot leading. Gigue is attempting to do a full 180 degree spin, for which reason he twists around on the balls of his feet in addition to already moving his upper body clockwise, and this means the rightwards force at the start would be offset by his knee subsequently being pulled leftwards. I maybe should've made it clearer, but Gigue isn't throwing Sigurd to the side - rather, behind himself.
