I use a set of little wooden people my husband made for me - a red couple, yellow couple
etc. / put eyes on them with a marker so I know which direction they are moving in -
works great

I like coins. (Different denominations for
different
numbers - pennies,
nickels, dimes, quarters tells you who's who in a square,
face-up or face-down
for gender, and you can have them face one way or the
other.)
Me, I like Extreme Visual, No-Tech style. My dirty secret
is this: Smurfs. I borrowed a bunch of figurines from a
friend, each of which sports a different-colored hat. I have
male and female red, blue, and yellow hat couples. The
fourth couple is a pair of green toy soldiers, with the one
holding his gun up higher in the air designated as male. I
walk them around through the dance, noting when each is
facing her/his neighbor, etc., when the progression happens,
and potential weird effects. It's goofy but it really works.
