Before becketizing:
(We'll start with one couple out.)
Pass through up-down, takes hands4 with next nbrs.
(For me: Your Previous nbrs are behind you.)
BECKETIZE. In one hand is your Partner, the other is your SHADOW.]
[Everyone: Look on the R-diagonal; after once though the dance, you'll be across from that couple. And in just a moment, you be swinging that person on the R-diagonal.]
Revonella-star back to place(8+8). Face away from partner, take hands4 with a new couple; you are facing your Shadow.
[Your partner is in a different hands4.] [Out at the end: Turn as a couple to face in.]
Petronella-star back to place, and one place more(8+8). Swing your New-nbr; the person [on your side of the set] in the adjacent star(8). [At the end of the petronella-star, the is looking at the back of her New Nbr's head, while the rolls over his R-shoulder to see his new nbr behind him.]
Swing this new-nbr, then [as a couple] slide-left, till you are across from the couple that has your partner(8). snag R-hands and allemand 1.5 (8).
Partner bal&swing(4+12).
[Everyone: Look on the R-diagonal; after once though the dance, you'll be across from that couple. And in just a moment, you be swinging that person on the R-diagonal.]
A “Petronella-star” is a conventional petronella (ring-balance, twirl-right one place) but ending in a L-hand wristgrip-star. A “petronella-star 5-places-round” is relative to your initial psn. You end up in the same place a “circle-right 5-places ” puts you, but using 16 beats of music.
A “revonella” is a reverse petronella: Ring-balance, then twirl-left one place. A “Revonella-star” is a reverse petronella that ends in a right-hand star. And a “revonella-star 4-places-round” puts you back where you started.
