I'd been playing with variants of this since 2015 but this version was first danced with this name at Edinburgh IVFDF 2019, calling for the band Monkey Box – it needed a name, they're a great bunch of people to name it after and it seemed appropriate!
| A1 | Take hands in a ring: balance in and out, petronella one place to the right (i.e. let go and move one place to the right spinning ¾ over your right shoulder). Repeat (you should now be in the other couple's place). |
| A2 | People on the left arm left 1½ to change places back home. People on the right arm right 1½ to change places back home. |
| B1 | Partners do-si-do. Swing your partner. |
| B2 | Star promenade: put your arm around your partner and people on the left link arms with each other as well, take this round once and bit and go onto the next couple. |
