Here is one I wrote a few years back. It is easy and has been very well received. Petronella's Pen - Dave Colestock - 8/2005 (aka Petronella's Pin) Improper A1 Balance in a ring of 4, spin or slide 1 place to the right Balance in a ring of 4, spin or slide 1 place to the right A2 Balance in a ring of 4 Swing neighbor on the side B1 Give and Take, Ladies draw partner back to their side (in 4 beats) Swing Partner (12 beats) B2 Circle Left 3/4 Balance the Ring Pass Thru to a New Ring One does not need to "spin" to move to the right in the A1 - I teach it with a slide as well. Spinning can be difficult and disorienting for newer dancers. Dave Colestock www.davecolestock.com

If this has been discussed before, happy to be pointed to the correct place to look in the archives. Thanks in advance for the help!
