Andy Shore has some great ones. If my recollection serves, "Pete's Dark
Roast"
https://contradb.com/dances/105 was a good one for introducing the
move, and "Serving REELness" was the real payoff for dancers who have it
down pat:

well, a revolving door. Recently I was cleaning my deck and I chucked a
bunch out because I never called them; then recently at an advanced dance,
Will called a neat one and I remembered how much I like that move, when
done properly.
So, now I'm looking to add a few RD dances (back) to my collection: what
are your faves?
(And, as a tangent, how do you do/teach this move? I had always learned it
as an inverse star promenade, including the hand around the waist of the
person you're crossing with, and always found it really awkward—not to
mention sweaty—to assume this position, and to disentangle for drop-off.
More recently, I saw it taught as just taking hands with the person you're
crossing with (as you would in a line of four down the hall), and suddenly
I liked the move a TON more; the momentum was still there, but it was much
easier to engage/disengage. What is everyone else's opinion here?)
Revolvingly,
Maia
