Ron, Well, I have one inspired by the mating of Tetrahymena (a ciliated protozoan like a Paramecium) called Tetrahymena Twirl, and it’s kind of nerdy. Three person (one a couple unit) hey. I consider it intermediate - it’s a little weird in teaching but dances easily once it starts. It’s great to a ragtime set of tunes.
There’s another called San Diego Sleigh Ride which is very easy with a figure where ones back up under twos arch, then twos do the same, then repeat. People really like it. It has a neighbor swing and an “active” couple swing that can be switched back and forth from 1s to 2s. Sort of a “dorky” figure if not a dorky inspiration. Based on Nantucket Sleigh Ride, which had no swings, as I recall. Consider Hydrogen was written as a tribute to the late great Richard Feynman - the figures represent atomic movement and structure. “Consider hydrogen” was one of two questions on his Quantum Mechanics class final. You can find them all on my website https://sites.google.com/site/marthawildscallsofthewild/ <https://sites.google.com/site/marthawildscallsofthewild/>. Unfortunately, I can’t figure out how to make it show up in searches - I chose the public settings, so it’s a mystery why it keeps showing up as https.
