Petronella

Petronella is a traditional Scottish Country Dance devised by Nathaniel Gow in about 1820. It was collected in the first book published by the RSCDS in 1924. It is a proper two couple dance in a four couple set. The animation plays at 120 counts per minute normally, but the first time through the set the dance is slowed down so people can learn the moves more readily. Men are drawn as rectangles, women as ellipses. Each couple is drawn in its own color, however the border of each dancer indicates what role they currently play so the border color may change each time through the minor set.
