Goto the right slightly as if to ride behind them and they will move forward, now move left and they will move backwards. Depending on how far you two are when you lock eyes will determine how many steps you can make the Ped dance. THAT my friend, is the Traffic Dance....otherwise known as the Traffic Dance of Death TM.

isn't that the Pedestrian chicken swerve?

So sorry, i was mixing the Traffic Dance in with the general principles of traffic pacing and traffic signal sprints. The weave and flow of riding in traffic is just that, the weave and flow.
