hook: simple petronella scatter mixer
by: Deanna Rubin
formation: scatter mixer
People should get into hands four, but it doesn't have to be in any set of lines since they're going to scatter anyway.
| A1 | 8 | circle left 4 places

| A2 | 8 | balance & petronella

I couldn't find a reasonably simple petronella scatter mixer so I wrote one.
This works for small groups of any size, so it doesn't just have to be 4. I personally call the B1 as "corners balance and swing". This way people don't miss out on the next iteration because they are having trouble finding anyone at the end of the scatter; just join any group!
(If a scatter promenade is unfamiliar to you, the neighbors/corners that balanced and swung in B1 are now new partners, and will go around the room and find another pair of people to dance with.)
