Hi All:
Faced with a largely beginner audience at a recent festival, I came up
with the following when the band wanted high-energy Petronellas in the A's.
I suspect it isn't new, but have been unable to find it in the usual
sources. Thanks in advance for whoever has the author/title; otherwise
I'll have to come up with one -
Improper
A1. Balance, Petronella, balance, Petronella
A2. N1 balance, swing
B1. Gents allemande L 1 1/2, partner swing
B2. Circle L 3/4 and pass through, N2 dosido and form ring
Yes, I know - I need to write a new Petronella dance like I need a hole in
my head. Some things just can't be helped -
Bob

Bob,
I've danced pretty much this sequence as a Becket starting at B2. Can't
remember who or where. I remember it because it not only was a "barely
Becket" but you immediately progressed away from your neighbor couple.

So you have a beginner crowd at a festival? Since when does the band get
to dictate what you call? Just sayin'

Good questions. This happened at the Clearwater Festival held at a park
on the Hudson River about an hour north of NYC. Clearwater is much more
about concerts than dancing - for example, on the main stage act at that
time was some guy named Pete Seeger. The band was the ridiculously
talented Giant Robot Dance, I was a last-minute fill-in for the Sunday

didn't realize Seeger was playing, wandered by the tent, and decided to
give contra a try. So after three dances of dosido-and-away-we-go and
put-the-lady-on-the-right, I wanted to give the contra regulars and the
band something mildly interesting to finish with. Andrew van Norstrand
suggested Petronellas, I happily agreed, and then - oops! - I realized I
hadn't taught a ladies chain yet. After teaching the A1 the band went
into
rolling start mode, so I winged it and this dance
is what happened.
