(Corrected)Hmmm...   (a)  Exactly what do you mean  by "Petronella?"(b)  Exactly what do you mean by "Give and Take?" Michael Fuerst      802 N Broadway      Urbana IL 61801      217 239 5844 On Tuesday, March 29, 2016 1:38 AM, Michael Barraclough via Callers <callers(a)lists.sharedweight.net> wrote: Thank you for the helpful comments when I shared this dance a few weeks ago. I called the dance as written on 3/18/2016 at the Memorial Dance for Charlie Fellows.  It went ok but, as forecast, it was hard work to ensure that the B2/A1 transition went smoothly. I have therefore changed the dance slightly which I hope makes it a better dance. The original B1and B2 have been swapped and the two 'trades' have been changed for a 'turn single' and a 'California Twirl'. The final dance is as follows: FOR HE'S A JOLLY GOOD FELLOW Michael Barraclough (2016) Longways improper A1 Balance the ring, Petronella, Balance the ring, Turn Single A2 Give & take (men take, neighbor swing) B1 Give & take (men take, partner swing) B2 Balance the ring, Petronella, Balance the ring, California Twirl This keeps most of the symmetry/simplicity from the original but improves the B2/A1 transition. Dancers eemed to like the double Give & Take.
