Starting from where we are now, it'd be very difficult to make big changes to the list of beginners' moves.
I personally think that the catapult is a bit odd to teach to beginners. There aren't many times when you freespin the follower 1.5 turns in social dancing, apart from doing the catapult. There's also a massive difference in the way people dance it, with some people leading lightly 'til the follower gets to their left side, then spinning them roughly on the spot, and others making the spinning motion come evenly on the end of the pull forward section.
However, given that straight after the beginners class they'll be dancing with intermediates who'll be doing catapults in nearly every dance, it is necessary to teach it.
As for changing the name of (the) FirstMove
