OPENER    Basic - SSD Week 1

4 ladies chain across the square
4 ladies chain go right back from there
Join hands and circle left you go
Learned of love and A B Cs
Allemande left and weave the ring
Goodbye Michelle my little one
You swing and promenade around the town
And every time that I was down
You would always come around
And get my feet back on the ground


FIGURE (1)   

*** This figure does not work - dancers are out of sequence ***

Head ladies chain across the set turn the girl
Heads lead left, when you're done veer right
Bend the line and half sashay
Pass the ocean all the way - then you swing thru I say
Ladies run around the boy, bend the line one time you go
Box the gnat, square thru 3 one time round the ring for me
Swing the girl high and low, promenade around the floor
We had joy we had fun we had seasons in the sun
But the stars we could reach were just...


FIGURE (2)    Basic - SSD Week 11, corner progression

Head ladies chain across the set
You turn the girl and then all heads lead left
Veer right and bend the line you go
Half sashay and flutter wheel
Boys will start and meet the girl
Box the gnat and square thru 3
Then swing and promenade one time for me
You tried to teach me right from wrong
Too much wine and too much song...

Join your hands circle left walking talking round the set
Boys will make a right hand star, turn it once around the square
Find your corner then allemande left and then right & left grand
We had joy we had fun we had seasons in the sun

We had joy we had fund we had seasons in the sun
But the wine and the song like the...


FIGURE (3)    Basic - SSD Week 6, corner progression

Side ladies chain across the set
You half sashay and then all sides lead left
Veer right and bend the line you go
Flutter wheel start he and she
All the way you go for me

Square thru 2, then you swing and promenade
Now the spring is in the air
Pretty girls are everywhere
Think of me and I'll be there


FIGURE (4)    Basic - SSD Week 7, corner progression

Side ladies chain across the set turn the girl with a half sashay
Sides lead left and when you're done
Veer right and bend the line
Half sashay once and a half, you double pass thru now
All face out, wheel & deal one time round the ring you will
Centers square thru 3 hands round, all the way around the town
Swing the girl high and low, promenade around the floor
We had joy we had fun we had seasons in the sun
But the hills that we climbed...


CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face grand square
We had joy we had fun we had seasons in the sun
But the hills that we climbed were just seasons out of time
We had joy we had fun we had seasons in the sun
But the stars we could reach...

Join your hands and circle left
We had joy we had fun we had seasons in the sun
Allemande left and the you swing, promenade around the ring
We had joy we had fund we had seasons in the sun
But the wine and the song like the seasons have all gone
