two columns

OPENER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face, grand square
A long time ago, when the Earth was green
There were more kinds of animals than you've ever seen
And they'd run around free while the world was being born
And the loveliest of all was the unicorn

Left allemande and weave
There were green alligators and long-necked geese
Dosado, promenade the ring
Cats and rats and elephants, but sure as you're born
The loveliest of all was the unicorn


FIGURE    Plus, corner progression

Heads flutter wheel and sweep 1/4 more
Double pass thru, track 2 around the floor
Swing thru two by two, boys run right
Ferris wheel, you walk right in, pass thru, touch 1/4
Scoot back and the corner ladies swing, promenade
Cats and rats and elephants, but sure as you're born
The loveliest of all was the unicorn


MIDDLE BREAK    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face, grand square
Noah looked out through the driving rain
But the unicorns was hidin', playin' silly games
They were kickin' and a-splashin' while the rain was pourin'
Oh, them foolish...

Left allemande and weave
There were green alligators and long-necked geese
Dosado, promenade the ring
Cats and rats and elephants, but sure as you're born
The loveliest of all was the unicorn


CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face, grand square
And then the ark started movin' and it drifted with the tide
And the unicorns looked up from the rock and they cried
And the water came up and sort of floated them away
That's why you've never seen...

Left allemande and weave
There are green alligators and long-necked geese
Dosado, promenade the ring
Cats and rats and elephants, but sure as you're born
The loveliest of all was the unicorn
