Author's Notes:
Inspired by Ted Sannella's dance "Fiddleheads." Near the end of the Gypsy in A2, the man can take the woman's left hand in his right hand, to help her get around into the ring in time. The object, of course, is to move smoothly from the second petronella spin into the partner swing.
This dance is from American Country Dances On Line
