OPENER    Basic - SSD Week 1

Four ladies promenade go once around the land
Come home and you swing with your man
Join up your hands, circle to the left and you're gonna move it right along
Allemande left with the corner, weave the ring
Well you're gonna wind and weave around you go, and you meet a little girl again
Swing with your lady, and you promenade the ring
Well is you is, or is you ain't my baby
Well if you is, you'd better get along home with me


FIGURE    Basic - SSD Week 6, corner progression

Head couples square thru, wack-a-do, wack-a-do, wack-a-do, wack-a-do, wack-a-do
Meet that pair go right & left thru, turn 'em now
Roll away, star thru
California twirl, forward up to the middle and back
Everybody square thru, go 3 hands, and the corner lady swing
Swing that girl and promenade back home again
Well is you is, or is you ain't my baby
Well if you is, you'd better get along home with me


MIDDLE BREAK    Basic - SSD Week 11

Allemande left the corner, box the gnat with the partner
Girls star left once around inside the set, meet your man
Box the gnat, hold on, do a grand right & left
Hand in hand 'til you meet her once again
Turn your partner right, look for the corner, left allemande
Go back swing your lady and you promenade again
Well is you is, or is you ain't my baby
Well if you is, you'd better get along home with me


CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 2

Four ladies chain across that set, and you turn 'em by the left
Four ladies chain 3/4 round, now turn this girl
Join hands, circle to the left
Ladies in the men sashay, circle to the left that way
Then you allemande left with the corner, grand old right & left
When you meet that girl you know, you promenade the ring
Well is you is, or is you ain't my baby
Well if you is, you'd better get along home with me
