two columns

OPENER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face grand square
He met Marmalade down in old New Orleans
Strutting her stuff on the street
She said, "Hello Joe, you want to give it a go?:

Allemande left your corner girl and weave around that ring
Get ya, get ya, ya ya da da
Get ya, get ya, ya ya here
Mocha chocolata ya ya
Creole Lady Marmalade

(Come on now)

FIGURE    Mainstream, corner progression

Heads (sides) square thru give me 4 hands
You go round the corner girl dosado
Swing thru today, you spin the top
Boy up, go right & left thru, turn her pop
You square thru 3/4 round that ring
Swing that corner girl around, promenade
Mocha chocolata ya ya
Creole Lady Marmalade

(Come on now)

MIDDLE BREAK    Basic - SSD Week 1

Circle to the left
Touching her skin feeling silky smooth
Color of café au lait

Men star by the right hand, go one time for me
Left allemande, gonna weave that ring
Well get ya, get ya, ya ya da da
Get ya, get ya, ya ya here
Mocha chocolata ya ya
Creole Lady Marmalade


FIGURE (ALTERNATE)    Plus, corner progression

Head (side) two pair square thru get 4 hands round
Dosado the girl that you found
Swing thru today, girls fold, peel the top
Slide thru, two hands single circle
And a right & left grand, hand over hand
Go meet that girl and then promenade
Mocha chocolata ya ya
Creole Lady Marmalade


CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 1

Living his grey flannel life

Allemande left your corner girl
Dosado your own, left allemande, come on weave that ring
Get ya, get ya, ya ya da da
Get ya, get ya, ya ya here
Mocha chocolata ya ya
Creole Lady Marmalade
