Flying double stars come up across Europe. I've seen Spanish, French, Belgium, German, and assorted eastern European dance them, either as stars of 3 to 6 couples, or a spin of 2 couples. They look fun, but I've not had a chance to do them yet.

There's a really impressive Polish spin/star type thing. About 10 men holding onto a short loop ( a really strong belt, I think) all dance a very fast star, and when they get up to speed, they can lean the whole thing over, so one side is virtually on the ground. Must take alot of practice to avoid the whole thing disintegrating into a very fast, unstable heap of people...
