Okay Mudcateers....... I am collecting dance name parodies and associated folklore. For example Arse-Over-Anna for the Varsoviena (yes, I know people have different spellings) and also rhymes for dance movements eg: first set of teh Lancers - first lady forward, second lady pass, third lady's finger up the fourth lady's arrrrse.

I remember Taffy Thomas calling for Flowers and Frolics, featuring Martin Carthy, in the 'Punk Celidh' at Southwark festival mid seventies
Most of the dances we renamed to suit well known punks, e.g. 'Rat Scabies Fancy'
