Hi Jack and All;
There shouldn't be any need to change directions. When staying in a group of four the
Petronellas set up an allemande L, but the Petronella 1 1/2 changes groups and does flow
into the allemande R. Your hands may want to go L, but the feet will want to keep going
L. another dance that relies on this in a different way is Tom Hinds' Revolution
Reel, where the Petronella 1 1/2 goes into a gypsy R.
