A 1-4 Ones lead down the set, change hands, and continue backwards down the set.

  5-8 Ones lead up, separate around the twos to original places.

 9-10 Long second corners (first woman and third man) are actives.
      Actives give right hands and change passing through each other's place 
      while others face across, take hands with neighbor, and set.

11-12 Actives loop right behind the sides of the set to face each other while
      others turn single right while moving right to end across the middle of 
      the set with the men below facing up and the women above facing down.

13-14 Actives give right hands and cross through the set while
      others take hands with neighbor and set.

15-16 Actives loop right to the ends of the set (man at the top, woman at the
      bottom) while others turn single right while moving right to end 
      facing across the set.


B 1-2 Join hands in a ring and balance in and out.
  3-6 Expansive hands-six circle left seven-twelfths to original places.
  7-8 Keep hands in lines and set.
 9-12 Top four (ones and twos) lead down through the bottoms and cast up.
      End in the order 2, 1, 3.
13-16 Bottom four (ones and threes) lead up through the tops and cast down.
      End in the order 2, 3, 1.

8 John Drewry introduced the term \Petronella in tandem" for the turning figure
as in A11-12 and A15-16. In this dance, the neighbors turn and maintain their
relative positions next to each other when they arrive in their new locations.

* ¢ In teaching the figures in A-16, walk through the setting and turning of
the nonactive dancers first. They will naturally align themselves with their
opposites giving the actives a nice rectangle to cross through.
