two columns

OPENER    Basic - SSD Week 1

Four ladies chain, over and back
They say the neon lights are bright
On Broadway (on Broadway)

Circle left
They say there's always magic in the air
Allemande left, weave from there
But when you're walkin' down the street
And you ain't had enough to eat

Swing, promenade
You know the glitter rubs right off
And you're nowhere (on Broadway)


FIGURE    Basic - SSD Week 10, corner progression

Head (side) couples promenade halfway around
Walk in and square thru take 'em 4 hands round
Four hands around, do the right & left thru (turn your girl)
You veer to the left, ferris wheel and then
Square thru 3 hands you go
Swing with your corner, promenade on home
You know the glitter rubs right off
And you're nowhere (on Broadway)


MIDDLE BREAK    Basic - SSD Week 1

Four ladies chain, over and back
They say the girls are something else
On Broadway (on Broadway)

Circle left
But looking at them just gives me the blues
Allemande left and weave you do
But how you gonna make some time
When all you've got is one thin dime

Swing, promenade
And one thin dime won't even shine your shoes
(On Broadway)


CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 1

Four ladies chain, over and back
They say that I won't last too long
On Broadway (on Broadway)

Circle left now
I'll catch a Greyhound bus for home
That's what they say

Allemande left, weave today
But they're dead wrong, I know they are
I've got my records, mic and car
And I'll keep callin' dances 'til I'm a star
Here on Broadway (on Broadway)


TAG

Circle left
On Broadway (on Broadway)
Here on Broadway (on Broadway)
Here on Broadway
