Re: [Callers] easy modern-day contras with petronella turns

Here is one I wrote a few years back.  It is easy and has been very well received.   Petronella's Pen - Dave Colestock - 8/2005 (aka Petronella's Pin) Improper   A1  Balance in a ring of 4, spin or slide 1 place to the right       Balance in a ring of 4, spin or slide 1 place to the right A2  Balance in a ring of 4       Swing neighbor on the side B1  Give and Take, Ladies draw partner back to their side (in 4 beats)       Swing Partner (12 beats) B2  Circle Left 3/4       Balance the Ring       Pass Thru to a New Ring   One does not need to "spin" to move to the right in the A1 - I teach it with a slide as well.  Spinning can be difficult and disorienting for newer dancers.   Dave Colestock www.davecolestock.com   --- On Fri, 1/25/13, Val & Tom Medve <valandtom(a)myfairpoint.net> wrote: From: Val & Tom Medve <valandtom(a)myfairpoint.net> Subject: [Callers] easy modern-day contras with petronella turns To: "Caller's discussion list" <callers(a)sharedweight.net> Date: Friday, January 25, 2013, 7:35 PM Looking for easy, accessible, beginner-friendly modern-day/contemporary contra dances with petronella turns -- with instructions (in addition to dance name and author), if possible. If this has been discussed before, happy to be pointed to the correct place to look in the archives. Thanks in advance for the help!
