OPENER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face, grand square
Feel I'm goin' back to Massachusetts
Something's telling me I must go home

Circle left
And the lights all went out in Massachusetts
Allemande left and promenade
The day I left her standing on her own

FIGURE    Mainstream, corner progression

Heads star thru
Double pass thru you go
Face out, then you wheel & deal one time, boys half sashay
Pass thru you go, swing thru
Centers run and ferris wheel you go
Boys pass thru, swing the girl and then promenade her
The day I left her standing on her own

FIGURE   

Heads star thru
Double pass thru you go
Face right and you couples circulate one time
Bend the line, reverse flutter wheel go all the way
Half sashay, square thru 4
And the lights all went out
U-turn back, swing the girl and promenade her home
The day I left her standing on her own

MIDDLE BREAK    Basic - SSD Week 4

Heads face, grand square
Tried to hitch a ride to San Francisco
Gotta do the things I wanna do

Circle left
And the lights all went out in Massachusetts
Allemande left and promenade
They brought me back to see my way with you

FIGURE    Basic, corner progression

Sides star thru
Double pass thru you go
Face left and you couples circulate one time
Ends run, centers trade, left swing thru, centers run
Bend the line, pass the ocean
Swing thru you go, split circulate go twice
Swing the girl and promenade home
They brought me back to see my way with you

FIGURE    Mainstream, corner progression

Sides star thru
Double pass thru you go
Face in and pass the ocean here
You swing thru, split circulate
All 8 circulate, swing thru you do
Centers run, you wheel & deal
Swing the girl and then promenade her
They brought me back to see my way with you

CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face, grand square
Talk about the life in Massachusetts
Speak about the people I have seen

Circle left
And the lights all went out in Massachusetts
Allemande left and promenade
And Massachusetts is one place I have seen

TAG

Four ladies chain four quarters
I will remember Massachusetts
