[Xy-pic] Rotating a frame

Hi there.
I'm trying to make an updated squaredance diagram class and running into
a bit of a problem. I need to make some boxes with dots and rotate them
at a 45 degree angle. I know how to make the rotate package rotate
text, but I can't figure out how to get it to rotate the frame around
the text (nor the dot). As an example:
\newenvironment{sqFormation}{\[\begin{xy} 0;<5mm,0mm>: % set units to
5mm x 5mm
} {\end{xy} \] }
\newcommand{\rotdancer}[3]{\POS(#1)*[@!45]=<5mm>[F]\txt{#2}="dancer",
\POS"dancer"!#3(1.1)*{\bullet},}
\xyoption{dvips}
\begin{document}
\begin{sqFormation}
\rotdancer{0,0}{U}{U}
\end{sqFormation}
\end{document}
Only rotates the U by 45 and not the box. I think this should be
possible, but I'm missing something since the rotation modifier is
supposed to modify whatever the current object is.
Thank you for your advice/help in advance.
Joe
