It's not smooth, but here's one I did Friday in honor of
April Fool's Day (and to teach same-sex right and left through):

Cheat the Lady
Proper
Traditional (~150 years old)
A1 Woman one balances man two
   Woman one swings whoever she wants, all return to place
A2 Man one balances woman two
   Man one swings whoever he wants, all return to place
B1 Ones lead down, return (come back proper)
   Ones cast around twos
B2 Right and left through
   Right and left through

(During the walk-through I tell them to be creative
with choosing who to swing, but the band is off-limits.)
