Based on Petronella Milkshake but shifts the petronellas to A1 and takes out the circles in favor of the Stomp transition of petronellas to stars.
I like wrist grip here for scalability if some couples end up with hands more than four. That also opens up the possibility of one massive star at the end, à la Bob Isaacs at the end of Cold Pig/Warm Mud.

Non-progressive, so I would do Break, Figure for Heads, Figure for Sides, all that again, final Break.
Based on “Petronella Square” by Becky Hill and first called at Chippenham Folk Festival.

Who doesn't like pirates? Not me. This dance was meant to be as raucous as I could make it, filled with stomping, spinning and swinging. It's fun.
