I'm getting to this discussion a bit late (been busy!) but I didn't
see anyone mention The Joy of Six. My candidate for 1) the best
flirty dance, and 2) the best title.
In fact it's such a good title that Rick Mohr has also used it!

Rick's dance is to a slip-jig (or similar) so you get six beats for a
move rather than the usual eight.
A trifle off-topic, but I first encountered the title as a morris-dance
performance piece, where
six dancers each did "Highland Mary" in a different tradition. (Which is
hilarious. There's one style in
which they do one fewer repeat, so that guy is just standing there
looking at his watch going through
the last repeat, etc, etc.) I bet Rick Mohr has encountered that morris
dance.
