Collected this from Vicki Herndon last night at Cabin Fever in Knoxville. Anyone know the name / author? It's a really fun dance (and lots of fun to swap roles on). A1 Yearn Left, then straight back R&L Thru A2 Snuggle up to partner (arms around backs like for Star Promenade) As a couple balance, twirl to the right once place (gents go forward, ladies back) End facing up & down Couple balance, twirl to the right B1 Gents pass L Shoulder -- Hey B2 P B&S -- Jack Mitchell Durham, NC -- Jack Mitchell Durham, NC

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? On Feb 10, 2018, at 9:59 PM, Jack Mitchell via Callers wrote:
