Sig-sized Ballroom Dancers?

Sig-sized Ballroom Dancers?

Hi all!  I was jut wondering if anyone has (or could makke) some sig-sized
ballroom dancers.  I'm looking for a 3 or 4 line pic and it doesn't even 
have to be strictly ballroom, as long as it looks like it *could* be two
people dancing ballroom style.  8)  I checked the ASCII Art Gopher and found
a few pics there, but they weren't quite what I was hoping for.  The couple
that I liked the best were these, and even so, the 2nd and 4th ones don't
quite fit what I'm looking for.

  Oo     o   O     oO    oO
 <  "'  < "'" >   "  ,   ""'
 ,\\    />  ,^,   //|    |\

I did kind of like the 3rd picture here, kind of a back view of the two
dancers, but it looked a little funny to me.  I think the man's head is
supposed to be the O and if so, I think he's looking over the wrong shoulder
of the lady.  Also, the hands on the right side looked too low down.  So,
I did a little adjusting of that picture and came up with something very
similar, but with the sides kind of switched and I like this a little better:

    Oo
   "  '
    |\\

Well, anyway, what do you all think?  Anyone have any better pics?  I'm sure
that someone must be a much better ASCII artist than I am and could do a new
pic that's better or perhaps just a better adjustment of one of these pics.
So, I'll turn it over to the real ASCII artists (i.e., not me ;) ) -- what's
your opinion on the matter?  Any suggestions?  Thanks in advance!

Being confined to three or four lines makes the task you have set even more 
difficult. Using the figures you posted as a guide, I have come up with these:

            waltz?    tango?     folkdance?
                         
 ~o__O      ~o__O     ~o O__.    ~o    O
  |vV|       |vV|       \-+-'    <|\/\/|>   
 /]  |      /]  |      /%\|\     /%\   |       ejm 96
 /|  |\     /| /|       |/|/      |\   |\

I tried 5 lines but all I came up with was these ones at the "hop". 

   ~o       O
   <|\/   \/|>
   /%\      |
    |\     /|
   / |     \ \

So do I - my sig seems pretty poor compared to those!
