That's a fair point, maybe I just drop the pull by entirely and make it
a by the left and call it a day. It does feel nicer with hands to me,
but if it doesn't work it doesn't work.
Thanks,
Sam

RE: the right hands, that makes sense to me, but since it was outside
hands (in a ring), I couldn't really swap hands (since the larks
would
have their right hand free, but the robin coming at them would have
their left hand free. I'll think more about that more; the ring
balance
felt good since you're coming out of a swing and already have
hands with
your neighbor, but it does rather break the flow of all the pull
by's,
so maybe I'll drop it.
Thank you for the notes!

🤦🏻 Reading is not my forte. I completely missed
the final next
neighbor balance and petronella left.
I have no issue with the balance and petronella left. That will
be fun.
There might be issues with the pass right pull by
right - having
two
rights in a row.

I believe you're improper during the progression (the pull by
right to
next neighbors in the beginnig of B1), so the
petronella left
puts you
back in becket for the start of the dance, no?
This is the only
thing
that's changed from last night so it's
quite possible I've
broken it,
but I'm going through it in my head and I
think it's equivalent
to the
circle right 3 that used to be there (or at
least, I can't
figure out
how you'd be in becket at the end unless
I've mis-typed something
earlier in the dance that I'm not seeing).

B2 ends improper rather than becket. You need to
get the
larks/leads/gents to swap places and then a slide left or yearn to
progress.
