I'd guess that on a normal night at my home dance there aren't four dancers
who have ever danced Petronella - in other words even if they are
experienced dancers, they wouldn't know how to start Petronella. BUT - your
suggestion made me realize that I could take four of them aside before the
dance and teach them that part so they COULD demonstrate it at the beginning
of the dance.
Thanks.

Just ask an experienced group of four to demonstrate it :-)

Regarding Petronella itself, I have yet to be at a

many beginners where the setup for how to get into
that position in the

begins
was clear enough for people to understand easily.
Hence, as a fairly new
caller myself, although I love that dance (asked Old Grey Goose
specifically
for it at my birthday dance) I have not called it
yet.
Any suggestions on how to describe the setup to get that dance started?

How about introducing those dancers to Petronella?
