Jim Hemphill's "Cupid's Hey" has pousettes:

Don't know.

One possibility is that it's the 'becketization' of a ones-improper dance 
that begins when you meet your next neighbor:

      A1: N. bal & box the gnat
          gents allemande L 1 1/2
      A2: P b&s
      B1: circle L 3/4
          N swing
      B2: long lines
          square thru 2

This is pretty close to "Dancy Nancy" by Katy Heine:

It's also similar to your own "Treasure of the Soda Bar":

And the first three-quarters are identical to those of:
  -- "Bristol Court" by Melanie Axel-Lute:
     http://www.maxellute.net/Bristol.html
  -- and "Traveling Salesman" by John Coffman:
