I recall one being done at Faultline Frolic a few years ago, and I posted to their FB group. The response that I got there was that it was called by Nils, and might be named Bubble Network. It involved doing a swing where the end position was based on height, not dance role, such that shorter dancers ended at the bottom of the hall and taller dancers at the top.
