Hi Ulrike!
I'm replying to the list in case others are interested.

The so-called Viking Kissing Dance was taught to us by Mistress T'sivia at
TYC back in '86.

The names can be changed to promote the guilty.

Men:  "Here comes Ragnar, here comes Ivar, here come all of Ragnar's kinsmen.
Women:  "Whose son is Ragnar, whose son is Ivar?  Whose sons are all of
Ragnar's kinsmen?"
Men: "A yeoman's son is Ragnar, a yeoman's son is Ivar, yeomen's sons are
all of Ragnar's kinsmen."
Women:  "Ride away, Ragnar, ride away Ivar, ride away all of Ragnar's
kinsmen!"
Men: "A lord's son is Ragnar, a lord's son is Ivar, lords' sons are all of
Ragnar's kinsmen!"
Women:  "Ride away Ragnar, ride away Ivar, ride away all of Ragnar's kinsmen."
Men: (finally getting wise to this...)  "A king's son is Ragnar, a king's
son is Ivar, kings' sons are all of Ragnar's kinsmen."
Women: "Take us now Ragnar!  Take us now Ivar!  Take us now all of Ragnar's
kinsmen!"

At this point the line of men breaks out and all the guys run for the
women.  The women either stand there and let themselves be caught and
kissed, or run for it and it gets a bit more chaotic until every woman has
been caught and kissed.

I remember the tune and could probably figure out the dance steps --
they're very easy -- if anyone is interested.  Let me know.
