two columns

OPENER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face, grand square
They made up their minds, and they started packing
They left before the sun came up that day

Allemande left and weave the ring
An exit to eternal summer slacking
Dosado and promenade
But where were they going without ever knowing the way?

FIGURE    Mainstream, corner progression


The heads (sides) square thru 4 hands around the ring
Do a dosado the outside two and then
You swing thru and now spin that top
Boys move up and do a right & left thru and turn the girl
Flutter wheel straight across, sweep 1/4 more
Swing your corner girl, promenade
Where were they going without ever knowing the way?

MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face, grand square
The road that they walk on is paved in gold
And it's always summer, they'll never get cold
They'll never get hungry, they'll never get old and gray

Allemande left and weave
You can see their shadows wandering off somewhere
*They won't make it home but they really don't care

(*or Dosado that girl around and promenade that square)
They wanted the highway, they're happy there today, today

TAG

Sides face, grand square
Just leaving it all behind
