[Callers] Does this dance already exist?

Hi Esther,
   If anyone has not mentioned it, I feel there is a kink in the flow trying to go from a petronella to a chain.  As you spin R, it is the left hand which feels available as you face the set because your body has been rotating clockwise, even as it move CCW around the minor set. So there will be this washing machine action to get into the chain.  You might be counting on the claps to arrest that movement, but I still feel it's not an especially satisfying entry into the chain.  A gents chain, otoh, would be peachy.

What, to you, is the hook in this dance? What were you going for?  

Best,
Andrea
