We were dancing this at a weekend, and the sets were reasonably crowded. As it was, I didn't feel like we were coming dangerously close. With inexperienced dancers, I suspect that it would take up rather more room. As it was, I was doing a fair bit of role switching with my partner, many of those switches on the pivots, which probably meant we were taking up a bit more space. Nonetheless, I never felt like I was too close to the other gent. As long as people balance in, *and out*, I think it would be pretty safe and wouldn't take up significantly more space than a regular petronella.
