From the notes: "Dedicated to Donna Wilson who dances 'Petronella Diamonds' with such obvious enjoyment.

Most dances containing Petronella Diamonds either contain poussettes which require good pas-de-bas from both partners or more difficult formations, hence my reason for composing this little dance."

Table rows with a green background denote recordings starting with one of the recommended tunes and the usual number of repetitions for the dance (4). A yellow background means a recording with one of the recommended tunes but a non-standard number of repetitions. Recordings with a red background use a different tune and possibly a non-standard number of repetitions.

Recordings whose titles are in italics are not explicitly linked to this dance but have been identified by the database based on the type, bar count, and recommended tune(s) of the dance.
