We were dancing this at a weekend, and the sets were reasonably crowded.
As it was, I didn't feel like we were coming dangerously close. With
inexperienced dancers, I suspect that it would take up rather more room.
As it was, I was doing a fair bit of role switching with my partner, many
of those switches on the pivots, which probably meant we were taking up a
bit more space. Nonetheless, I never felt like I was too close to the
other gent. As long as people balance in, *and out*, I think it would be
pretty safe and wouldn't take up significantly more space than a regular
petronella.

Jack, I'd like to call the dance you just sent but
have a question.
How close do the men get to each other as they do the double Pet?
Since you've danced this, how might it work in a crowded hall? Might
the men crash into each other on the spin?
