formation: four face four
Have dancers note their "trail buddies" and who their corners are. The two dancers in the middle of the line of 4 are corners and the dancers at the ends have their corners in front of them.

|
| 8 | middle 4 star right 4 places

| A2 | 8 | partners allemande left 1½
|
| 8 | other 4 star right 4 places

|
| 4 | balance the ring
| |
| 4 | partners California twirl ⁋

In this case there are 8 places in the circle, so going 4 places is equivalent to half way.

"The motion in B1 does seem magical – while the ladles Petronella over and back across the set, the gentlespoons do consecutive Petronellas along the side, in effect progressing behind his partner’s back."
