Singles' Rotation works well in some clubs.  

One implementation is to have the solo dancers put their name on 
a Postit.  Divide the Postits into two groups, men and women.  
If the two groups are unequal in number, equalize by having  
dancers willing to dance "the other part" to do so.  If there's 
an odd number of dancers, make up a Postit for a sit out.  

Arrange the Postits into two columns; the dancers in each row 
are partners for a tip.  After each tip, move the bottom Postit 
from the women column to the top and move the others down one 
place.
