Again, with thanks to John Sweeney for the buffet of tasty options for B2.
I believe I have thought through all the figures and choices (e.g. gents passing R shoulders rather than L followed by a RH pull-by in A1) and I think this will work well.
Again, this dance is derived from 3-33-33 by Steve Zakon-Anderson.
The intent is to give dancers an opportunity to acknowledge/thank the others on the floor with whom they are having/have had a (hopefully) lovely experience. It's also intended to be elegant and smooth (but, dancers will be dancers!) and with music in the vicinity of, perhaps, 112 bpm.
Most of the interaction is with opposite role neighbours with a smidgen of interaction with the same role.
If someone is inspired to call this, please let us know how it was received. I won't have a chance for a while.
6-66-66. Ken Panton. Becket.

At the start of the dance, dancers have hands-4 with "previous" neighbours

(2) N (future) pull by L
(8) N +2 bal & box the gnat
A2 (2) N +2 pull by R
(2) N (future) pull by L
(2) N current pull by R
(2) N (previous) pull by L
(8) N -2 Bal & box the gnat
B1 (2) N -2 pull by R
(2) N (previous) pull by L
(12) N current swing
B2 (8) Gents pass L for 1/2 hey, ladies ricochet
(8) P Swing
Of course, dancers wrap-around the ends on Rs/Ls.
Many options for B2. The one that I'd particularly like to trial is go directly from the N swing in B1, with a short circle L/unwind from N swing, to P swing. The downside of that transition is that the ladies lose their chance for same role acknowledgement which is the intension of the ricochet and all that uninterrupted swinging might be dizzy.
