I can't help noticing that that description fits "Petronella"
itself. Of course, there are many callers these days whose
programming styles exclude dances like "Petronella"--whence
the incongruity some have noted in saying "as in 'Petronella'"
to a room full of dances most of whom may not have danced
"Petronella" even once.
