I think your programming idea sounds great.

Gypsy 'Round Two by Tom Hinds is  a dance I love to call - I always  
give a little demonstration.
duple improper
A1 Ones as a couple gypsy Man #2 by R , gypsy Woman #2 by L
A2 All go down the hall in line (Ones in middle), turn toward  
neighbor and return
B1 Circle L once around, N do-si-do
B2 Ones in center bal & swing, end facing down

I demonstrate that when the ones gyp Man 2 the woman is closer and  
can hog the interaction with the lone man although her partner is  
there orbiting with her in shoulder-waist position, and then the  
tables turn and the man can flirt with Woman 2 as the couple gypsies  
with her. This dance is nice to rags or some playful tune.

I'm calling a dance on Valentine's Day and was thinking about using  
that as
a theme for programming. What comes to mind would be dances with strong
partner interactions or figures - like couples DSD, give and take, or
couples weave the line - along with dances that involve leaving one's
partner and returning.

I'm interested to know what others have done with programming along  
similar
lines, what your thoughts were, and any dances you found particularly
appropriate.
