Richard; Here are a couple from me that work well for mixed crowds; Pearls of Wisdom Improper, 12/7/02 A1. Neighbor allemande R 1 1/2, gents allemande L 1 1/2 A2. Partner balance, swing B1. Circle L 3/4, neighbor swing B2. Balance, Petronella, balance, Petronella 1 1/2 The Cure for the Claps Improper, 8/17/03 A1. Balance, Petronella, partner swing A2. Balance, Petronella, neighbor swing B1. Down hall in line/4 - turn alone, up hall and bend line B2. Circle L, Balance, California twirl This is one of those rare contras with no fractions. Because of this dance many think I am anti-clap. I actually like the claps, but only when going from ring to ring. When going into a swing, star, or an allemande like the one above the claps gum up the works. Petronellas are best when they are more than a positioning device, but use the momentum to flow into the next move.
