Notes from Bob Isaacs: In this crossing of two New England greats, Larry improves a dance written in
his honor by adding the give and take.

The very long and good neighbor sequence is allemande left-pull
by right-pull by right-pull by left-pull by left-circle-do si do-pull by right-balance-swing-give and take.

Petronella Swing Break

by: Chris Page

formation: square dance

A1	8	balance & petronella
	8	neighbors swing (CORNER)
A2	8	balance & petronella
	8	next neighbors swing (NEXT CORNER)
B1	8	balance & petronella
	8	next neighbors swing (NEXT NEXT CORNER)
B2	8	balance & petronella
	8	partners swing

http://chrispagecontra.awardspace.us/dances/#petronella-swing-break

As long as they know petronella turns and who their corner is, they're set to go. If they're aware of the concept that a corner is a place rather than a face, then there's no need to walk through any of this.

This is a quick way to swing everyone. gentlespoons go nowhere, ladles go around the square.

Written and first called on Sunday, September 5, 1993, the last day of the first annual Harvest Moon Festival, put on by the Greenville, SC contra dance group. Intended to be done as a medley. I usually start with an unrelated dance, then change to Moon Dance, then after a few times do Sun Dance, and finally alternate between the two. I know of callers who walk through both dances, then alternate between them throughout. I like the surprise factor. Callers: watch out for the beginning of the B2 -- the dances are different.
