two columns

OPENER - CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face grand square
Some things in life are bad, they can really make you mad
Other things just make you swear and curse
When you're chewing on life's gristle, don't grumble, give a whistle
And this'll help things turn out for the best

Allemande and weave
And...Always look on the bright side of life
(Swing, promenade)
Always look on the light side of life

FIGURE    Mainstream - SSD Week 12, corner progression

Heads (Sides) square thru four hands around will do
With the corner girl you'll dosado
Swing thru and then boy run right again
Ferris wheel you move right in you know
Pass thru, touch 1/4, boys run right and then
Boys fold, swing and promenade
And always look on the bright side of life

MIDDLE BREAK    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face grand square
If life seems jolly rotten, there's something you've forgotten

And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing
When you're feeling in the dumps, don't be silly chumps
Just purse your lips and whistle - that's the thing

Allemande and weave
And...always look on the bright side of life
(Swing, promenade)
Always look on the light side of life
