Kalia Kliban asked about the transition from Petronella Twirl to
left hand star. This transition occurs in Becky Hill's "Kitchen
Stomp" and in Jim Kitch's "Discombobulation." In my experience,
it works just fine. You may want to supply a clear and timely
prompt for the star (e.g., "Left hands in for a left hand star"
on beat 5-8 instead of just "Star left" on beats 7-8) at least
the first few times through.

Hi all
Just wondering about a transition in Nathaniel Jack's "Walk the
Plank." It looks like a nice bouncy dance with good rebound, but
there's a transition from a petronella twirl into a LH star at the
end, and in the absence of a group of guinea pigs here at the house
I thought I'd ask if anyone's tried this and what they think. Here
are the notes:
Walk the Plank Duple Imp.
A1 4,4 Neighbor balance, Al right 3/4
8 Men Al left 1-1/2
A2 16 Partner Bal + Swing, end facing down
B1 8 Down the hall in lines of 4, turn alone
8 Come back up, bend the line to a circle
B2 8 Balance the ring, spin right one place
8 Star left 1ce around.
Is it comfortable to come from that twirl into catching L hands for
a star?
Kalia
