introduces moves: petronella, balance, California twirl
formation: Becket
The petronella-nella may be new, but not too tricky. Dancers should be able to move two spaces in the usual 4 beats.
A1 | 8 | circle left 3 places
|
8 | neighbors swing - end facing right diagonal
| |
A2 | 8 | right diagonal ladles chain (to your shadow)
|
8 | ladles chain across
| |
B1 | 8 | balance & petronella
|
8 | balance & petronella moving two places. “Petronella-nella”
| |
B2 | 4 | balance the ring
|
4 | neighbors California twirl
| |
8 | partners swing ⁋
|
Written for Penny’s birthday, a fan of Petronella.
End effects: while waiting out, still do the diagonal chain.
You will spend part of your time waiting out with your shadow and some with your partner. You will still do every partner swing.
8) waltz & break
Rattlesnake Trio by Heiner Fischle http://www.ibiblio.org/contradance/thecallersbox/dance.php?id=6575
by: Rick Mohr
formation: Becket
A1 | 6 | circle left 3 places
|
10 | neighbors swing
| |
A2 | 8 | long lines forward & back
|
8 | right diagonal ladles chain to shadow #1
| |
B1 | 8 | star left 4 places with shadow #1
|
8 | partners allemande right 1½
| |
B2 | 8 | star left 4 places with shadow #2
|
8 | partners swing
|
Rick Mohr notes: While enjoying Mike Boerschig's Happy as a Cold Pig in Warm Mud I wondered, could you enjoy flying stars with both shadows instead of just one?
This dance is the result. It's more accessible than you might expect for a dance where you leave the minor set twice, because finding your partner rights the set in both B1 and B2. In B1, watch for your partner in the other star and meet with an allemande; in B2, watch for your partner in the other star and meet with a swing.
I'm not usually a fan of "shadow / partner / other shadow / partner" sequences because you keep repeating the same longish sequence with the same people, and so don't mix enough. But because the stars in this dance involve a changing cast of neighbors, you get the thrill of flying to your partner twice without the tarnish of identical setups
