[Callers] Oval Petronella - critique please

[Bill Baritompa]

Hi All,

       Two Petronella balance and spins can be done around the whole set and are 
equivalent
to a double slice right (but different timing).

       Anyone know if this has been used before in contra dance?

       Here are two simple dances I wrote with this. I've not tried them out yet,
but the oval petronella that was in the grid dance I did at our last dance went
over well.

     What do you think? I'd appreciate your thoughts.

Oval Petronella DP Becket CCW DP
      best with odd number of couples
A1: Oval Balance & Petronella 2x
A2: G AL 1 1/2; N SW
B1: CL 3/4, P SW
B2: Prom Across; LLFB

Oval Petronella SP Becket CCW SP
A1: Oval Balance & Petronella 1x; G AL 1 1/2
A2: N Bal & SW
B1: CL 3/4, P SW
B2: Prom Across; LLFB

I searched the callers box database for dances with double slice (always left)
and with a bit a adjustment most can be tweaked to use oval petronella.
