Recently wrote this one for a beginner dance I was calling (so named because it was written right next to the Catholic chapel at my school and I couldn't breathe because of the overpowering incense...)
Clouds of Incense - circle mixer by Maia McCormick Begins with all in a ring with partner, lady on the right A1: forward and back (2x) A2: partner alle. R 1.5x neighbor alle. L 1x B1: back to partner for balance and swing B2: w/ partner, promenade the circle counterclockwise (i.e. to the right) ladies loop back to the gent behind and swing him--becomes new partner, dance restarts. (It's also quite possible that this dance already exists somewhere, in which case someone should certainly tell me!)
