Another nice variation on Ellen's Green Jig that Graham Hempel here
in San Diego came up with, is as follows:
A1 Do-si-so neighbor
Women do-si-do
A2 Men do-si-do
Actives swing
B1 (rest is the same) Circle left
Circle right
B2 Duck for the oyster figure, finishing with ones ducking under to next
This is really good for beginners. Balancing and swinging for 12
counts is sometimes a lot for new people who don't know how to swing
or balance, so limiting it to just the 8 count swing without a
balance works out very nicely.

I like to say that whoever is doing the taking "lures" the other
person back to their side, or entrances, or enchants, etc., and that
the other person resists the awesome power, or I'll say "be coy"
which inevitably leads to people doing fish imitations.

One of my favorite descriptive lines for potentially flirtatious
moves is
"the boy chases the girl until she catches him." Of course, you can
use
gents and ladies or men and women. And it can be she chasing and him
catching, but you get the idea.

I can't remember from where/who I got this, but I often use the line
that it's especially fun if/traditional that "the ladies resist just
enough to make it interesting."
